You’ve finally got your hands on the new iPad, now you need some beautiful wallpapers. Apple’s newest tablet sports a gigantic 2048×1536 resolution display, so your old iPad wallpapers won’t look as good as they once did. You need higher resolution images for your new baby.
We’ve gathered some gorgeous, free wallpapers that are all optimized for the new iPad’s Retina display. We tried to include different designs and styles for everyone. Check them out and see if one catches your eye!
We have previews of each wallpaper with full-res versions linked under each image. Click or tap the link under each wallpaper for the full size version.
There are plenty of other places to find great wallpapers. InterfaceLIFT’s third-gen iPad section has dozens of incredible wallpapers that are already optimized for the iPad’s Retina display. Dribble is also a great place to look for interesting designs. You can follow @RetinaiPadWallpapers on Twitter for more free downloads.

Coolest one says file not found. Fail.
They look so good on the retina display! Thanks Cult of Mac
Which one are you talking about?
The beautiful one of Cinque Terre. I wanted that one too! :(
The url is here http://interfacelift.com/wallp…
The link for manarola isn’t working. *sadface*
gorg.. what?
Fixed!
“Manarola, Cinque Terre – Take II” still not working.
It’s the site server’s getting hammered, not our link
I don’t think it’s the server being hammered Alex, the link pulls up a 404 page, most likely the link got moved.
Here’s a great one on the site though: http://interfacelift.com/wallp…
404 page does not mean their server is getting hammered.
Got ’em all, thanks!

Shard does not work. Or the one Above it
Yeah. Cinque Terre doesn’t work, and it’s not because the server is hammered. 404 means no such file exists (at least not in the specified location).
found it while “walking” through the pictures….

Nice, I especially like the Carbon one. Thanks so much for compiling them Alex.
I also get my wallpapers from mobile9, which offers quite a lot of wallpapers for the retina iPad. :) http://gallery.mobile9.com/c/a…
Right click it on your desktop and do “Save picture as” or hold the image on your iPad to bring up save in camera reel.
