You can always transfer your pictures to your computer (macOS or Windows OS0, see this Apple article: Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or PC - Apple Support


If you have a macOS see also -> Transfer images in Image Capture on Mac

Transfer images in Image Capture on Mac – Apple Support (UK)


Then may be also to an external hard disk.

Then you can remove the pictures from the iPhone, dubble check first.

Downloading All of iCloud:

Rather than pay money, save a few and download it directly. Use my user tip: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip. Once downloaded, search for these in Finder on your Mac. Once obtained, cancel your iCloud Plan: Downgrade or cancel your iCloud+ plan - Apple Support. Important: Perform this downgrade using a computer (Mac or PC), as it would be more user-friendly doing so.

Thank you
