Wallpapers can be downloaded and used directly from your iPad's Safari app. The iPad does not optimise images so they are retain both thier data size and quality.

Although it is recommended to use images optimised as wallpapers for the iPad, such as all those found on my-iGuru.com, any image of a reasonable physical size will do. Wallpapers on the iPad measure 1024 x 1024 pixels, allowing for both portrait and landscape viewing.

Step 1 - Save a Wallpaper to 'Saved Photos'

Open the 'Safari' app and navigate to a web page where is an image you want to use as a wallpaper. Press and hold your finger on the image and a pop-up menu will appear. Select 'Save Image' and the image will be saved in your 'Photo' apps 'Saved Photos' album.

Step 2 - Setting A Wallpaper Image on Your iPad

From the Home screen select the 'Photos' app and you should now see a folder called 'Saved Photos'. Open the folder and the wallpapers you have downloaded will be shown.

Select an image to use as a wallpaper and press the option button (You may need to tap the image for menu bar to display). A menu will appear with 4 options including 'Use as Wallpaper'. Select this option and another menu is presented. You can now move and scale the image using finger gestures. When you are happy select to save the wallpaper as either your 'Lock Screen', 'Home Screen' or 'Set Both' Lock and Home screens'.

As all of the my-iGuru.com images are optimised for the iPad there is no need to move or scale the image.
