I've wondered how to do this for years, but never have taken the time to look into this. Is it possible to save the custom zoom level of a wallpaper for use later? I want to change my wallpaper but it was extremely hard to get my current one set correctly and I'd rather not go through the process every time I switch.
 
Quick and dirty, if keeping same screen size going forward: adjust image and do a screenshot.

EDIT: I've had some wallpapers where had to slide/adjust/zoom, screenshot, then pull up screenshot and adjust that further, screenshot. Repeat as much as necessary and use the final one.

I've done this on all my iOS devices, then sync to Mac, create a separate photo albums for iPhone and iPad, and resync back. New device or doing full reset/reinstall, now can just pull back from the computer.

Can do something similar with iCloud Photos, if no computer.
