Photons do not transform into electrons. Please study the photoelectric effect and the compton effect .

Photons, as bosons, are not conserved and can disappear in an interaction. Electrons cannot appear out of nothing unless in pairs of electron positron, as the electron quantum number is conserved in electromagnetic interactions.
