How to upgrade to OS X El Capitan – Apple Support

At Section 4 download InstallMacOSX.dmg. When that has downloaded open it and you will get InstallMacOSX.pkg.

Double-click on that and an installation window will open, this will convert InstallMacOSX.pkg to the

Install OS X El Capitan.app which will be in your Application folder.

Use the Install OS X El Capitan.app to create a new bootable USB installer, How to create a bootable installer for macOS – Apple Support

Please note you can only convert the InstallMacOSX.pkg to the Install OS X El Capitan.app on a mac that can install El Capitan.

Therefore if your mac came with macOS Sierra, macOS High Sierra, macOS Mojave or macOS Catalina pre installed you will not be able to convert the InstallMacOSX.pkg to the Install OS X El Capitan.app.
