Transferring photos from Mac to iPad can make iPad users have a better enjoyment. After moving photos to iPad, people can share with families or set as wallpapers. When it comes to how to transfer photos from Mac to iPad, people will always choose iTunes as the first choice. However, there is an easier and quicker way that can help finish the transfer task without data loss. Here we will show you how to do that.
As long as iTunes and the iPad use the same Apple ID account, transferring photos from Mac to iPad is easy. These photos will be saved in the Photo Library. Before following this method, one thing you should know is that iTunes will remove all existing photos when transferring photos to iPad. Thus, you'd better think twice whether you really want to transfer photos to iPad from iMac with iTunes.
1. Install and start iTunes on your Mac computer, and go to 'Edit > iTunes > Preferences > Devices', and check 'Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically'.
2. Plug iPad into computer via the USB cable, and iTunes will launch automatically. If not, you will need to manually open it.
3. iTunes will recognize your iPad. Click the iPad icon at the upper right corner, and then choose 'Photos' in the summary panel.
4. Check 'Sync Photos from' and then select the folder that you have saved the photos. Then click 'Sync' at the right bottom.
Then iTunes will sync the folder with your iPad. When the sync is done, you will get all the photos from the folder to your iPad. This is a very helpful way to copy photos from Mac to iPad. But note that the photos you have synced before will be erased and replaced with the photos in this folder. The photos synced from computer will be saved in the Photos app, and you are able to view the photos within the app.
Apart from iTunes, users can take advantage of the third-party iPad transfer software for Mac to selectively copy photos from Mac to iPad. Among all the transfer programs for iOS devices on Mac computers, Leawo iTransfer for Mac is regarded as one of the best. This software enables users to transfer files among iOS devices, iTunes and mac computers without the sync of iTunes, and users are able to transfer various kinds of files easily.

Step 2. Click the name of iPad and choose Photos library in the left sidebar. The synced photos on your iPad will display in the right part of the software window.
Step 3. Choose 'Photos' library and then the contents will be shown in the right part of the window. If your iPad Photo Library is empty, you will see an 'Add File' button in the middle of the window, you can click it to add photos from your computer.

Also, Apple has offered another iOS data transfer app to help you transfer or share data and files between Mac computer and iOS devices (iPad, iPhone and iPod). That is AirDrop. AirDrop is a cool and useful feature that lets Macs and iOS devices share files wirelessly with a minimum of fuss but quite a few people know about AirDrop feature. Not because it is hard to use (it isn't) but because most people don't think to look for it. Usually when we want to share a photo with someone, we just send it in a text message. But when that someone is standing right beside you, it is even easier to use AirDrop.
The below steps would show you how to use AirDrop to transfer photos from Mac to iPad.
1. Open AirDrop on your iPad: Slide up from the very bottom of your iPad's screen to call out the Control Panel, long press and hold your finger on the box featuring the airplane button, and then on the newly popup screen tap the AirDrop button to reveal the permissions (turn it On, Off or Contacts Only, or Everyone). You could choose Everyone here.
2. On your Mac computer, choose “Go > AirDrop” from the menu bar in the “Finder”. Or select AirDrop in the sidebar of a Finder window.
3. The AirDrop window shows nearby AirDrop users. Just drag one or more documents, photos, or other files to the recipient shown in the window to start to transfer photos to selected recipient.
4. Or, you could open the file you want to transfer from Mac to iPad, then click the “Share” icon to choose “AirDrop” option, then select a recipient from the AirDrop sheet. After they have accepted and the file has been sent, click “Done”.
AirDrop isn't just for photos, of course. With AirDrop, you can wirelessly send documents, photos, videos, websites, map locations, and more to a nearby iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. You can use it to transfer almost anything that you can share. You could not only AirDrop data and files from Mac to iOS device or another Mac, but also AirDrop things between Mac, iOS devices. For example, you can AirDrop a website from your iPad to your friend's phone, which is great if they want to bookmark to read later.
You could also try to transfer photos from Mac computer to iPad by using email. To email your photos from Mac to iPad would be an easy task. You could either directly send photos from Mac to iPad as email content or attach photos for sending from Mac to iPad.
The below steps would show you how to transfer photos from Mac to iPad via email.
1. On your Mac computer, open the browser and then log in the Gmail account.
2. Click 'COMPOSE' button to create a new mail.
3. Enter the receiver address (your own email account that could receive email on iPad) and the topic.
4. Click the 'Attach files' icon to choose photo(s) as attachment. You could upload photos from Mac computer as attachment or choose photos from Google Drive as attachment.
5. Send the email.
6. Log in your email account on iPad to receive the mail from your Gmail account.
7. Tap the attached movie file and download photos to your iPad.
This would be extremely easy and it’s totally free. However, if you are going to transfer a large amount of photos from Mac to iPad, this won’t be the first choice since every email attachment has its limit and the transfer speed depends highly on the Internet connection.
