    • All the wallpapers we host are legally licensed by using Creative Commons or they have no known copyright restrictions and are released as Public Domain. These licenses give great freedom to use content of other people in a legal and fair way. When someone uses this kind of license we can be sure that they are willingly giving a permit to share their intellectual property.
    Creative Commons has different versions with different rules of the license. We follow and respect these rules. Every wallpaper is properly credited and linked to the original source. We also display the exact license that the image is using. Doing things this way limits the selection for content but makes the search even more rewarding. For personal use you can basically use any image you can find online but for us it is important that the we are sharing these wallpapers legally.

    Here is a list of great Creative Commons and Public Domain sources we use. The images won’t necessarily fit the iPad screen properly but that’s the reason we are here. We find the best ones and make sure that they look great in any iPad. If you find a photo that you would like to use just let us know and we will add it to the collection.

    But if you are looking for free content that you use in your projects legally these sites are the best sources.
