Hi Hilason-_-gamay,

The iPad (9th generation) has a 8MP Wide camera in the back and a 12MP Ultra Wide camera in the front. Both have features such as HDR for photos and auto image stabilization. It's not expected for the photos to be grainy if you are looking at them from the Photos app.

To help with taking photos, you can try:

Cleaning the camera lenses with a lint-free cloth. Note: "Don't use window cleaners, household cleaners, compressed air, aerosol sprays, solvents, ammonia, abrasives, or cleaners containing hydrogen peroxide to clean iPad." See How to clean your Apple products for more information.Checking your camera settings and adjust them according to the photos you are taking Change advanced camera settings on your iPad.Test photos in different types of lighting and settings. If you are using third-party apps, be sure to check using the Camera app.

Here are some additional YouTube videos from Apple Support with tips on taking photos:How to capture motion with the Long Exposure effect on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touchHow to take great Live Photos on your iPhone and iPad


Ultimately, if it still seems like the photos are grainy, you may want to Contact Apple Support or use this Get Support link. 

Cheers!
