PowerApps Image Conversion

I have an app that utilizes the device's camera to take a picture and email that picture out. However, the email is a giant URL. I am assuming it is because PowerApps stores the data as a blob and that's the blob's URL. Is there a way to convert the blob into a JPG without using a sharepoint list via Flow?

Also, is the process the same for signatures or are signatures different?

Hi @dyee4613 ,
Do you want to convert pictices'format from the blob into a JPG?
I suggest you update the picture to SharePoint list's Attachments field.
It will automatically turn to .jpg format.
Note: Attachments control could only be used in a form.
What's more, could you describe more clearly about signatures?
If you means that save the peninput as a .jpg image, it's stored as blob data too.
Here's similar issue for your reference:

I used this code.

Office365.SendEmail("realemail@gmail.com","Header", "Body",{Attachments: Table({Name: "pic.jpg",ContentBytes: Camera1.Photo,'@odata.type':""})})

It doesn't store it but it works okay for just taking/ending a picture. It looks like sharepoint is the only way to save files.
