On numerous occasions, we've seen an image we'd like to use on our iOS device, but can't seem to find the correct size that fits. Well, this is a little tutorial to show you how to us the Google search function to find the correct size. NOTE: This tutorial will focus on the iPad Retina size (2048 x 2048 pixels).
Step 1: Go to the Google website via your computer.
Step 2: Select the "Images" option in the upper right corner of the screen.
Step 3: You will be taken to the image screen with the word, "Images" clearly visible underneath the Google logo. Type in the item you want to search for. In this case, "Apple" is the search item.
Step 4: After typing in the item to be searched, either hit the "enter/return" key on your keyboard or click on the search icon that's depicted by a tiny magnifying glass icon.
Step 5: After the results appear, select the "search tools" option.
Step 6: Select the "size" option.
Step 7: Select "Exactly".
Step 8: Use the chart below for the size you need for the device you want to use the image with. As I stated above, we will be using a 2048 x 2048 pixel format for the retina iPad. If you're looking for the wallpaper sizes for the iPhone, see the information below.
Step 9: Type in the width and height for the device you're using the image with and then select "go".
Step 10: Select the preferred image from the list of results. All of the listed images will be in the exact format you entered. Enjoy.
