Hello cescily34,


You'll first want to download the photos and videos using the steps below:


1. In Photos on iCloud.com, select the photos or videos you want to download, or double-click a single photo or video.
2. Do either of the following:
Download the most compatible version: Click the Download Selected Items button.
Photos are downloaded at the highest quality available for your device (HEIC if available). Videos are MP4/H.264. Photos and videos include edits made since they were added to iCloud Photos.
Download the original version: Click the More button, choose More Download Options, select Unmodified Original, then click Download.
The unmodified original version is in the same file format that was originally captured or imported and doesn’t include any edits.


Afterwards, you can sign into the other iCloud account and upload your photos using the following steps:


You can upload JPEG images from your computer to your Personal Library using iCloud.com.

If you want to upload photos to your iCloud Shared Photo Library, use the Photos app on a device with iOS 16.1, iPadOS 16, macOS Ventura, or later.
1. In Photos on iCloud.com, click the Choose Files button.
2. Select the photos you want to add from your computer, then follow the onscreen instructions.


You can also find those steps in this resource: Upload and download photos using iCloud.com - Apple Support


Hopefully that puts you on the path to transferring your photos.


Take care.
