the fastest transfer by far is via a USB-C stick/SSD. if you have the time for wireless transfer you can use something like SendAnywhere or Snapdrop.
if the photos are already on Google Photos...why not just use that on the iPad?
Since my primary photo storage is iCloud Photos… I use Google Drive to transfer photos from Android to iPad. I created a folder that I use for various files to help with transfers.
But I do use File Browser app to link my Google Drive… i find that app better to transfer, I rely heavily on Google Keep and Google Drive of being a bridge between my Galaxy Fold and iPP.

Fastest and best for large files, use external USB drive. Format them to exFAT for compatibility. Use a file manager on the Pixel, and then import them using the Photos app on the iPad. I've been doing this to transfer files between my S21 and my iPhone 7+. Crude, but works and fast. Just get the necessary cables and/adapters.
If you only have a few files to transfer from Android to iPad, the best option may be to use Google Drive. Or if you want to use any app then you can transfer photos from Android to iPad by SHAREit.
SHAREit is kind of similar to Send Anywhere, which can enable you to transfer photos from Android to iPad wirelessly. You can transfer individual photos or an entire folder to an iPad by using SHAREit. However, when you transfer the entire folders, the transfer speed may slow down.
