I have an iPod 5th gen, and need to free up some space.  I'd like to move certain photos to the iCloud to use the 5gb of free space, but can't figure out how to do so.  Can anyone help?  Thanks!

Settings, iCloud, Photos, iCloud Photo Library.

 

But to be safe, make sure you keep a copy of the photos elsewhere, like on your computer.

Is there a way to transfer photos individually?  Without copying over EVERYTHING?

To the cloud or to a computer?  If to a computer, which operating system?

 

EDIT:

I don't know if you can select which photos you want to post onto iCloud.  I don't use iCloud so can't say if it can be done.

 

But with OSX or Windows the photos app/software should be able to download photos from your device.
