See the following: Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

iCloud Photos will automatically sync your photos with iCloud and with any other devices where it is turned on.


iCloud Photos is a syncing service. Any photo you delete from a device where iCloud Photos is turned on will also be deleted from iCloud and from any other device connected to iCloud Photos. You can potentially reduce the storage space required on a device by turning on the iCloud Photos Optimize Storage option on that device.


Apple does not currently offer cloud-only storage for photos. If that is what you want or need, you may want to explore 3rd party options such as Google Photos or Dropbox.
