Cancel Icloud photo storage and process to not lose the photos?

I have a question for the Group:

I have 7 000 photos that are based on iCloud photo storage. I know that like want to pay for storage.

What is the process to cancel without losing any of my photos?

Do I have to download all photos of the original library, then cancel?

Also, I recently bought an IPhone 6. I did not notice that the iCloud photo library has been activated on the phone and therefore 5 000 photos and video are now on my phone. How can I safely remove them without losing the original photos? I have disabled iCloud photo library now but to delete all photos, the phone is off.

Any help appreciated. Thank you!

Because you have disabled iCloud photo library on the phone, you can safely remove the pictures on it without affecting anything else.

An excerpt from the Apple Support Article:
