Photos on iOS: how to transfer photos from MacOS to iOS other than via iCloud?

Is it possible to transfer photos from MacOS to iOS (iPad/iPhone) without creating Shared Albums to simply view photos? I ask because I'm trying to limit my iCloud storage space usage. I would like to keep local backups via Finder of the iOS devices. Then I would like to transfer photos to iOS devices as required. I'm looking to see if such a process is available.
