Automator help

You can always search for those files with either the Finder or Spotlight.
Did you try the script? Did it work?

I tested in Automator & it said "Workflow Complete" & saved it as "convert2JPG, but it's not in the Finder anywhere, or the right-click Quick Actions menu

get "Syntax Error": Expected “end” or “end tell” but found “on”.

"Apple Error -212"

I'm guessing from the screenshot you ran the quick action without any input. It needs image files from the Finder as specified on top.

What version of macOS are you using? Can you post a screenshot of where exactly you get the error?

I think the problem is that Image Events needs Full Disk Access to work in Monterey 12.3.
You can add it manually /System/Library/CoreServices/Image Events.app

Here is the version I’ve just tested and works as a QuickAction.

on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Finder"
        set theFiles to input
        repeat with currentFile in theFiles
            if name extension of currentFile is in {"bmp", "heic", "heif", "jp2", "jpeg", "png", "psd", "tif", "tiff", "webp"} then
                set extension hidden of currentFile to true
                set theName to displayed name of currentFile
                set theOutputFolder to POSIX path of ((container of currentFile) as string)
                tell application "Image Events"
                    launch
                    set theImage to open currentFile as string
                    set theJPG to (theOutputFolder & theName & ".jpg" as string)
                    save theImage as JPEG in theJPG
                    close theImage
                end tell
                set label index of ((POSIX file theJPG) as alias) to 1
                delete currentFile
            end if
        end repeat
    end tell
end run
