How to split a Digital pdf or Scanned pdf into images using pypdf
My use-case is i want to split a pdf into individual images with Good Quality but with less in File Size
Can any one help with this one?

The manual should help:
https://pypdf.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user/extract-images.html

This will extract images from a page. But what i want is to convert the whole page into an image rather than extracting all the images present in the page

This is out of scope for pypdf. Consider looking into the pdf2image Python package or the underlying pdftocairo tool.

Okay thank you will try for some other package then.

Tried pdf2image package but it is increasing the size of the image to 2-4mb but pypdf is able split images in less than 1mb. it is only working for scanned pdfs but for digital forms it is extracting all the images present in pdf. I thought there is some work around in pypdf package.

This is wrong - you are probably mixing this up with pdfimages.

This is not an issue I convert it into a discussion

So is there a way to convert a pdf page to image ?

No: you are talking about scanned page : pypdf can extract the images. Pypdf is not a 'viewer' which is doing page rendering
