Indeed, like said @rich2005 if it's jpg, no need to convert to png, just stay jpg.
If it was me (in theory), I'll just put all original jpg (from your phone) in a directory, right click on the directory then select "create archive", (or "compress" on Ubuntu? OMG 1 week on MX Linux and I don't really remember what's on the right click on Ubuntu-MATE
)
Then another directory for all the post-processed one, and same right click on it "create archive" or "compress", and store those 2 archives on an external drive.
In reality, I don't compress, I just store the full directories of raw/ photos and post processed jpg on external drive, because I can see the thumbnail, and in 10 years from now I know for a fact that I will not be happy about the jpg, then I will re-process some of the raw... or not
