    One option is to log in to https://www.icloud.com/ using the internet browser on your computer, click on the Photos app there and then click "Upload" in the bar at the top of the window. That will allow you to add photos to your iCloud Photo Library and they will then automatically download to your phone. You may want to check (on your phone) that Settings > iCloud > Photos > Optimize iPhone Storage is turned on.
