Option 2. Using YouTube Premium
What’s YouTube Premium? It’s YouTube’s paid subscription, and by now you probably heard all about it. Besides being absolutely ad-free, it also helps you download YouTube videos on iPad directly.
It’s pretty simple, really. Just below every video, you will see a ‘Download’ button. Click on it, select the quality, and download it on your device. The subscription costs approximately $12 per month.
Option 3. Online tools + iTunes (or Finder on a Mac)
I know what you’re thinking ‘Isn’t there a free option to do this?’ Well, yes. There are other ways to download YouTube videos to iPad. However, it’s not as efficient, as easy to use, and as safe as the two options we’ve covered already.
Actually, it’s a bummer, but you will still need to use iTunes.
First of all, it’s because it consists of 2 stages, so it’s not a direct way to download videos to the iPad. However, it’s still useful if you occasionally need to add videos from your computer to iPad.
Basically, all you need to do is to google any online video converter or any YouTube downloader for iPad. Most of them look sketchy, but nevertheless, they do their job. All you need to do is to put in the URL and wait till the download is finished. Lots of online converters also give you the option to convert your file to MP3.
Then you will need to connect your device to iTunes (or Finder if you have macOS Catalina & above). Go to the Summary tab; there you will see an overview of your iPad contents.
Then, select Movies and drop your MP4 file into iTunes that you downloaded to your iPad.
In Conclusion
Using this YouTube to iPad downloader, you can quickly download and watch YouTube offline anywhere. Just get any video on your iPad!
To save YouTube video to iPad there’s no need to install additional plug-ins, worry about converting the videos beforehand.
And of course, you don’t even need to use iTunes! This allows you to save YouTube to iPad for personal viewing extremely fast & easy.
Other solutions include using YouTube’s paid subscription YouTube Premium. Besides giving you an ad-free experience it also lets you save videos and music in a snap.
The third option is to download YouTube videos to iPad using online video downloaders and iTunes. Although it’s counter-intuitive, it’s free to use.
P.S.
Nowadays, downloading YouTube videos for watching them without an Internet connection is possible only if you have YouTube Premium subscription.
However, SYC is a much easier tool that has the same (or even more) functions, and that is free to download and use for 24 hours. This is finally the solution on how to access YouTube content offline.
In fact, you can download YouTube videos on iPad all without iTunes.
So, now downloading videos for offline viewing from YouTube to iPad is as easy as it can get (just a click away).
