Hi, you can transfer them to iCloud and optimize your mac storage. This way only smaller version of your photos will be saved on your mac and full hd will be backed up on your icloud and can he viewed from any of your devices.

Make sure your Mac is connected to a Wi-Fi network
Launch the Photos application and click on Photos in the top left corner
Click on Preferences…
Click on the iCloud tab
Click on the check box next to iCloud Photo Library
Do not click on Download Originals to this Mac, instead select Optimize Mac Storage.
