How to convert, downscale and compress 4K to 1080P?

I have downloaded some interesting anime videos in 4K H.265 format and I want to transfer them to my iPad Mini and then enjoy them offline. But it is a pity that my iPad Mini doesn't support playing 4K H.265 files. My friend Jeremy Emery told me that I need to downscale 4K to 1080P format so as to watch my downloaded 4K videos on iPad Mini. Can you recommend me some software to complete my mission? – John Bayer
