How to transfer normal saved terraria worlds to a cloud saved world
I have characters and worlds saved locally on my device and I'm wondering if it is possible to change them so that instead of being locally saved, they're saved to the cloud (iOS), if so how would I go about doing that? Many thanks for any help!

Do Terraria worlds save to the cloud?
Terraria's cloud save system is a convenient way to ensure that what you create in the game can be played and accessed from different devices. With this system, you can do the following: Create up to six (6) cloud save characters. Create three (3) cloud save worlds.Is there a way to transfer Terraria worlds?
Yep, that can work. You only need to copy this folder from your laptop and paste it in the same directory on your PC. So like save it into a USB drive? Something like Google Drive would work as well.Does Terraria save to steam cloud?
Terrarian. Yes. Saving it to the cloud essentially saves the character on steam instead of on your computer. You can play between computers as long as you've got a connection to steam cloud servers.Where are Terraria worlds saved in the cloud?

Answer 2
Last I checked (Dec 2015), you explicitly can't.
Someone had gotten a new phone for Christmas and lost their saves. On thinking it was a simple file transfer (didn't know iOS) and researching it to help them, it turns out local saves cannot be transferred to cloud saves once they are created. There is no option to move a save file inside the game, in any manner, let alone between cloud and local. Local saves cannot be accessed for a straight device copy either, unless the phone has been jailbroken to allow it.
