What is the best iPad wallpaper size?

2048 x 2732 pixels (the 12.9 / 13-inch iPad Pro resolution) is the universal choice. It is the largest common iPad resolution, so it downscales cleanly to every smaller iPad. Using it, or anything at or above it, keeps wallpapers sharp on any model.

Is iPad wallpaper portrait or landscape?

iPads are used both ways, and iPadOS uses one wallpaper for both orientations. Designing at 2048 x 2732 (portrait) covers the taller dimension; the same image rotates for landscape. Keep your focal point centered so it works in either orientation.

What size for iPad Air or a standard iPad?

iPad Air is about 2360 x 1640 and recent standard iPads about 2160 x 1620, but you do not need a separate file. Design at the universal 2048 x 2732 (or larger) and the device downscales it. Sourcing at the largest size keeps every iPad sharp.

Why does my iPad wallpaper look zoomed in?

iPadOS Parallax (Perspective Zoom) adds subtle motion by zooming the image slightly, which trims the outer edges even when the wallpaper matches the screen exactly. Keep important content away from the very edges, or turn off Perspective Zoom when setting the wallpaper.

Why 2048 x 2732 is the universal iPad size

iPads come in several resolutions: the 12.9 / 13-inch Pro at 2048 x 2732, the 11-inch Pro at around 1668 x 2388, the Air at about 1640 x 2360, and standard iPads near 1620 x 2160. Rather than make a file for each, the simplest approach is to design at the largest, 2048 x 2732, and let smaller iPads downscale it.

Two iPad-specific things to remember. First, iPads rotate, and iPadOS uses the same wallpaper for portrait and landscape, so keep your focal point centered. Second, the Parallax (Perspective Zoom) effect zooms the image in slightly and trims the edges, so leave a little margin around anything important, or disable Perspective Zoom when you set it.
