How to Change Image File Format in Files App
After removing the background from an image, the file is saved in PNG format. If you have a lot of such images saved in PNG format, it will affect the internal storage of your iPhone in the long run.

Here’s how to convert the image file format using the Files app. Step 1: Open the Files app on your iPhone.
Step 2: Go to the folder or location where your PNG files with removed backgrounds are stored. Step 3: Tap the three dots in the top-right corner.

Step 8: Select JPEG under File Format in the top-left corner.
Step 9: Select the Image Size of your choice in the top-left corner.
After a few moments, the Files will convert your PNG files to JPEG.
