About this pattern
Explanation
にする is used to express a decision or choice, as well as changing something to a certain form or state. It shows the speaker’s intention or決定 at the moment of speaking. Use it when you decide between options, when you transform something into another form, or when you view or regard something in a certain way. Note that the exact object or result comes after にする or を〜にする, depending on whether you’re selecting an item or transforming it into another form.
