It was just a few dozen files but so in the end fell back to the good old command line because I don’t like graphical interfaces for these tasks.

For future reference:
for file in *.png; do jpg="$(basename \\"$file\\" .png).jpg"; convert "$file" "$jpg"; done

Yes, it’s that simple once you have installed ImageMagick.
