In an image encoding process for encoding data of an inputted image and outputting encoded image data: an image-size condition including image size and target sharpness is stored in an image-size-condition storage; a reduced image of the inputted image having the above image size included in the image-size condition stored in the image-size-condition storage is produced; and the sharpness of the reduced image is calculated. When the calculated sharpness of the reduced image is higher than the target sharpness, the image size included in the image-size condition stored in the image-size-condition storage is reduced, and a further reduced image of the inputted image having the reduced image size is produced.
