A new iPad wallpaper can set your tablet apart in under a minute. You can use your own images or have a wallpaper app help you pick. Here’s what we like to use to keep our iPads looking unique and fresh.

-
Dedicated page for iPad Pro images.

Can’t restrict results by image resolution.

Unsplash is a great source for free photos, but you can also access premium-level wallpapers if you care to pay.
There’s a special iPad Pro Wallpapers page, but the rest of this wallpaper site has equally amazing photos that will work on your iPad.

Wallpapers customized for iPad and iPhone.

Use Your Own Photo
What We Like
-
Any image you’ve created can make a fantastic lock screen or home screen image.
What We Don’t Like
-
Keyword search for images doesn’t always return results you expect.
Many people like to look at a photo of friends, family members, pets, or a favorite place on an iPad lock screen or home screen. That makes sense, as the most personal wallpaper may be an image you capture or create.
So, open the Apple Photos app and browse through your photo albums to select an image that means something to you, then set it as your wallpaper.
NASA
What We Like
-
Stunning images of space and Earth.
-
Nearly all images are free for personal use.
What We Don’t Like
-
May take a few tries to determine the appropriate size to select when downloading an image.
-
Some NASA images can be extremely large.
NASA provides a searchable site for photos from space and space-related images. Choose Trending & Popular to see some of the most iconic images, including photos of Mars, the entire planet Earth, or images from the moon landing.
When you download an image, select from several sizes (e.g., small, medium, large, or original resolution). Almost all NASA content is not copyrighted and is available free for personal, non-commercial use.
Thanks for letting us know!
