How do I turn off optimize photos?

It is seriously annoying me, and it won’t shut off. I just wanna see my photos without them being blurry. To also be able to post photos, and make them my wallpaper

The setting is a bit confusing. "Optimize Storage" looks like a checkmark, that can be toggled on and off, but it is actually a choice of two options and you have to select the alternative "Download and Keep Originals". Then the checkmark for "Optimize Storage" will vanish, if you have enough free storage on your iPhone.
