If my iPhone 11 has almost reached it's storage, can I back up my phone to the cloud?

Storage on my iPhone 11 is 61.7GB or 64GB.. this is the second time this has happened in a year!

Can I back my phone up in iTunes? Cloud?

iPhone XR, iOS 14

Backing up would save a copy to the backup medium but would not save space.

Use Settings, General, iphone storage to inspect which apps are using space

Three normal choices

Turn on iCloud Photos and in Settings, General, iphone storage turn on Optimise Storage to halve the photos space
Import photos and media to your computer in Photos app using the "Delete on import" option then sync back certain albums or dates to the phone
Turn on iCloud Drive or similar cloud database and move photos and media there
