May I have autonomy of my photos and their (non) deletion again? How do I get out of iCloud and not have it erase the files on my device?

I need discrete control over my photos and device storage management. How do I turn off iCloud on a device and not lose my photos on that device? They’re mine. Am I stuck w/ iCloud or complicated, unnecessary backups to elsewhere from a deletion I didn’t want?

iPad Pro, iPadOS 16
