I was thinking of renaming every images extension to PNG but as my lap is crapped out and i am broke as hell i would have to do it on phone is there any good app on fdroid that can do it in a bulk ? Also does renaming the end from “jpg” to “png” actually change the format ? This pictures are very important to me as they have an imotionall connection to me.

On a less important is this the same for mp3’s too as i save my favourite songs in the same way as a zip file is m4a better ?

    Yes but png or jpg files take the data of an image and save them in a more efficient way inside a file. A zip file takes any file and saves it in a more efficient way. Putting a png inside a zip will compress the compressed image file but since zip compression is lossless, you’ll get the the exact same compressed image file back when you decompress the zip again. Same goes when putting a jpg file inside a zip.
