The object is to provide an image coding apparatus capable of converting a frame rate without causing an increase of computation and coding amounts. An image coding apparatus 100 includes a frame managing unit 102 which outputs, for inputted image data, frame data and a pseudo-frame generation control signal for generating a pseudo frame, at a predetermined timing at which a frame rate of the inputted image data is changed, the pseudo frame having same image data as one of the frame data; a pseudo frame generating unit 105 which generates skip information indicating the pseudo frame, based on the pseudo-frame generation control signal, so as to output the generated skip information; a coding unit 103 which codes the frame data so as to output coded data; and a stream generating unit 104 which combines the coded data and the skip information in a predetermined order so as to output the combined data to a reproducing apparatus 110 -side as stream data.
