Provided is an image processing apparatus that reduces the processing time taken to encode image data that has been divided into blocks, as well as suppresses a reduction in image quality. To accomplish this, among block images obtained by dividing the image into blocks, the image processing apparatus executes encoding processing using a first method with priority on important block images such as those including thin lines or characters. Furthermore, the image processing apparatus executes encoding processing using a second method if the encoded data amount of blocks that have been encoded becomes greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold.
