Settings -> Photos -> select "Optimize iPad Storage". This will replace full-resolution photos on your iPad with smaller versions that use less storage space.


It will take some time for the OS to do go through your Photos library and do this replacement, and it will do starting with the photos/videos you haven't watched in a while.


Keep in mind that each time you view a photo/video, your iPad will download the full version again.
