Why do we want to switch app between system app and user app?
First of all let's understand what is system app and user app.
If you do a factory reset or intial bootup of your android device, some of the app will be there by default such as Google Calendar and Google Current. These are called system app.
While those apps you installed from Play Store are called user app since these will be wipe/delete if you do factory reset.
So for advance user who normally does factory reset or wipe of their device, it will be good to switch those often used user apps into system apps while those system apps which you seldom use to be converted to user app. Take note, some of the system apps are tied to the OS so be careful and make sure you know what you do. I do not take any responsibility of what may happen to your device.
The app which I use is Titanium Backup (TB) . I used the Pro paid version.
In TB below, it shows the Movie Studio app in red which indicates it's a system app.
Right click on Movie Studio and it will pop-up a list as shown below. Select "Convert to user app".
Once clicked, it will convert the app into a user app. You can see the name "Movie Studio" text colour changed to white as shown below. That's it.
Below shows the list when you want to convert a user app to system app.
