I owned an iPad Mini2 and planning to purchase an iPad Pro in next a few days. I have a lot of important personal data on the iPad. So i want all those private date being wiped completely before selling to someone i am not familiar with. How can I do that?

For peace of mind, i personally use a blender to wipe my old phones. I don't wan't want my precious data (collection of dad jokes) falling into the wrong hands.

Erasing everything on an iPad is super easy, just tap Setting > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Setting. In this process, you may be required to enter your passcode and Apple ID password.

As far as I know, safewiper erase ( http://www.safewiper.com/ )would be helpful for your case, because I used it to erase my old iPhone 4s before I selling to others.
Note, it's not free, if you found freeware, please don't forgot to share with us.

Try to download the tool from Erase iPhone(http://www.erase-iphone.com/).

If you need to delete data from your idevices completely, use an ios data eraser(http://www.mobikin.com/eraser-for-ios/) tool, I think that is helpful.
You can erase all data with possibility to recover them, but remember to backup them first.
