PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an image processing apparatus for realizing encoding proper to searching and management of image data and processing applied to the image data or the like. SOLUTION: A compositing machine being an image processing apparatus for compressing an original image to generate a code stream, extracts an ineffective area from the original image, that is, executes area identification processing (S2), generates character recognition information by executing character recognition processing for a plurality of area divisions (S3), and embeds attached information such as the area identification information and the character recognition information at a position corresponding to the ineffective area in the code stream (S5). Thus, in the case of searching required image data from a plurality of image data or the like, the required image data can simply be searched by utilizing the attached information. That is, searching and management of image data and processing or the like applied to the image data can easily be executed by embedding the attached information as required to the image data.
