You have options to personalize your iPad wallpaper including buying a distinctive case and customizing sounds for email and text messages, but by far the easiest way to add some personality to your iPad Wallpaper is to set a custom background image for your lock screen and your home screen.

You have two ways to do this: choosing the image through the Photos app and using Settings.

Change the iPad Wallpaper Background in Photos

Firstly the Photos app provides an easy way to select a background image (called wallpaper) for your lock screen, home screen, or both.

  • You have to open the Photos app and then go to the Albums or Library tab. And tap Camera Roll, and then locate the image you want to use as your background.
  • Tap the photo to select it.
  • And With the image selected, tap the Share button at the top of the screen. It’s the one that looks like a square with an arrow poking out.
  • Tap Use as iPad Wallpaper.
  • Move the photo around the screen by dragging it with your finger. You can also use the pinch-to-zoom gesture to zoom in and out of the picture until you get it just right. Tap Perspective Zoom at the bottom of the screen to the Opposition.
  • When you’re finished positioning the photo, choose from Set Lock Screen, Set Home Screen, or Set Both.
  • Depending on the option you chose, the image will appear as the background on your home screen, the lock screen (which shows up when you first wake up your iPad but before you unlock it), or both.

Change the iPad Screen Setting

Another way to change your screen iPad wallpaper is through the Settings app. And it’s not quite as easy as using the Photos app, but it offers you a selection of image stills from Apple and dynamic images that animate your iPad’s background.

  • Open the Settings app.
  • Tap Wallpaper.
  • Select Choose a New iPad Wallpaper.
  • Tap Dynamic to use animated bubbles and select the color of bubbles you prefer by tapping one of the options. And you have to tap the Stills to view stock images suitable for iPad wallpaper.
    If you have iCloud Photo Sharing turned on, you can choose a photo from any of your shared photo streams.
  • After choosing a picture or theme, you can move the image around the screen with your finger or use pinch-to-zoom to zoom in and out of the photo. To set the background, tap Set Lock Screen to see it when you first wake up your iPad, Set Home Screen to make the photo appear underneath your app.
