According to one embodiment, an image relay apparatus includes a reception unit, a determination unit and a transmission unit. The reception unit receives compressed image data from a relay source apparatus. The determination unit determines whether or not the compressed image data is processable through a first path not involving decompression of the compressed image data, based on data on a relay destination apparatus. The transmission unit transfers, to the relay destination apparatus, either the compressed image data processed through the first path or recompressed image data obtained by processing the compressed image data through a second path involving decompression, drawing, and recompression of the compressed image data. |
