iCloud Photo Storage

If I delete the photos in my iCloud.com storage, will this also somehow remove those photos from my iPhone or iPad? I do not want this to happen but I want to make room in iCloud for newer photos and videos.

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.12

Hello. Yes that’s right, when you use iCloud Photos and delete a photo or video on iCloud, it's also deleted on all other devices where iCloud Photos is turned on with the same Apple ID. If you want to continue using iCloud Photos you’d need to free up extra space on iCloud some other way or buy extra storage. The following help article offers some suggestions
