Greetings sellzseashellz,
Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand you'd like to delete photos from your iPad without the photos deleting from your other devices.
Any photo you delete on the iPad would delete on your other devices if iCloud Photos is enabled on your iPad. To prevent photos from being deleted on your other devices, I suggest to turn off iCloud Photos on your iPad. When you disable iCloud Photos, you'll also see the option to download your photos and videos to your iPad. You can see how to disable iCloud Photos on your iPad from the following guide:
Get help with iCloud Photos
You can turn off iCloud Photos on a single device when you follow these steps:
- On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos, then turn off iCloud Photos.*
- On your Mac, go to System Preferences > iCloud. Next to Photos, click Options, then deselect iCloud Photos.*
- On your Apple TV 4K or Apple TV (4th generation), go to Settings > Accounts > iCloud. Under Photos, press Select to turn off iCloud Photos.*
If you have Optimize Storage turned on, you might not have all of your original photos and videos on your device. To download the original photos and videos on your iOS device, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Photos and select Download and Keep Originals. On your Mac, open Photos, choose Photos > Preferences, then select Download Originals to this Mac. Then you can turn off iCloud Photos. You can also select the photos and videos that you want to download from iCloud.com.
Before you turn off iCloud Photos, you might want to make a copy of your photos and videos.
Cheers!
