If you use iCloud Photos, the system will store photos both on the iCloud servers and on each device that is using iCloud Photos with the same Apple ID. Though you can tell it that it is OK to store reduced-resolution local copies on the devices.

If you're asking about what to do before turning off iCloud Photos, on one device, or everywhere, see:
