You can convert (Split) PDF files into images with ImageMagick and GhostScript. Checkout this PHP library here.

This class can be used to convert PDF documents to images using Ghostscript. It takes an uploaded PDF file and converts it into JPEG images using the Ghostscript program.

NOTE: The converted images are stored in files numbered according to the respective PDF document page.

You can use PDFlib php wrapper which I wrote sometime back, use it like below

$pdflib = new ImalH\PDFLib\PDFLib();
$pdflib->setPdfPath("pdf file path");
$pdflib->setOutputPath("output folder path");
$pdflib->setImageFormat(\ImalH\PDFLib\PDFLib::$IMAGE_FORMAT_PNG);
$pdflib->setDPI(300);
$pdflib->setPageRange(1,$pdflib->getNumberOfPages());
$pdflib->convert();

with a simple google, i got this answer from somewhere else.

The image library supports ImageMagick if you have it installed on your server: https://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/image_lib.html

$config = array(
    'image_library' => 'imagemagick',
    'library_path' => 'imagemagick_file_path_goes_here',
    'source_image' => $pdf_path,
    'new_image' => $img_path,
    'maintain_ratio' => true,
    'width' => 365,
    'quality' => '100%',
   );

   $this->image_lib->initialize( $config );

   if ( $this->image_lib->resize( ) ) {
    $this->image_lib->clear( );
   }
