If you're using iCloud Photos, your pictures are just "synced" to iCloud and won't be backed up.

But you can save all your pictures on a computer using this procedure:--> Archive or make copies of the information you're storing in iCloud – Apple Support (AU)

When your pictures are safely stored on your computer, you can delete them (if needed) from your iPhone (they will be deleted from iCloud too).
