# Rewrite image paths with several URL segments

Create a URL rewrite rule (part of Transform Rules) to rewrite any requests for `/images/<FOLDER1>/<FOLDER2>/<FILENAME>` to `/img/<FILENAME>`.

To rewrite paths like `/images/<FOLDER1>/<FOLDER2>/<FILENAME>` — where `<FOLDER1>`, `<FOLDER2>`, and `<FILENAME>` can vary — to `/img/<FILENAME>`, create a URL rewrite rule with a dynamic rewrite of the path component:

Text in **Expression Editor**:

```

http.request.uri.path ~ "^/images/[^/]+/[^/]+/[^/]+$"


```

Text after **Path** \> **Rewrite to** \> _Dynamic_:

```

regex_replace(http.request.uri.path, "^/images/[^/]+/[^/]+/(.+)$", "/img/${1}")


```

For example, this rule would rewrite the `/images/nature/animals/tiger.png` path to `/img/tiger.png`.
