20 Amazing 2048×2048 Wallpapers Perfect for the iPad Retina Display

20 Awesome high resolution iPad wallpapers

It’s been a while since we’ve done an iPad specific wallpaper roundup, so we took the time to gather a collection of 20 absolutely gorgeous high resolution retina wallpapers for the iPad, sized at 2048×2048. You’ll find a mixture of amazing scenery, abstractions, and textures that are so good you can almost feel them. Click through each image to get to the full size version, then a tap and hold and choose “Save Image” to save it locally to the iPad in your Photos app where you’ll be able to set them as your desktop background.

Though these wallpapers are specifically aimed at the iPad’s high resolution display and are perfectly fit for the iOS homescreen, there’s really no good reason they won’t work on a desktop Mac or PC, iPhone, or Android too, since almost all of each are typically lower resolution than the iPad’s retina screen anyway.

Without further ado, enjoy the wallpapers!

    Stupid as hell. No iPad has a resolution of 2040×2048, let alone the retina one

    twitter.com/RetinaiPadWalls is back up, links are working again ! Must say they have some pretty impressive collection there. Wish they made a website on it.

    Several of these appear to be in a DropBox account that has been disabled because of high traffic. The others are accessible.

    This account’s public links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!

    There’s only 19 there. What happened to the ‘blue fur’ one (first picture on the left, second row down on the ‘contact sheet’)?

    (It happened to be the one I wanted!)
