Q: So I want to delete/sign out of iCloud on my iPhone, but every time I do my pictures go away. How can I delete/sign out of iCloud and still keep all of my pictures on my iPhone?

Are you using iCloud Photo Library on your phone? Are your photos in an Album called "All Photos"?
If so, then you must be signed into iCloud to see the photos as they are housed in iCloud.
If you want locally stored photos, then you would need to turn off iCloud Photo Library on your phone, and then sync the photos to your phone from your photo library on your computer. You would also have to import new photos to your computer or you would need to have the Photo Stream automatically import to your computer to get them back on your computer and then back to the iCloud Photo Library:
