An image processing apparatus includes a sort unit for sorting original image data into edge image data and planar image data, a first coding unit for coding the sorted planar image data according to the fractal block coding method, and a second coding unit for coding the sorted edge image data according to a coding method differing from the fractal block coding method. Thus, an image processing apparatus is provided that can have picture quality of a reproduced image improved even for a block that has maximum density difference such as an edge portion. The image processing apparatus can include a first coding unit for coding original image data according to the fractal block coding method, an extractor for extracting error between blocks, a comparator for comparing the amount of extracted error with a predetermined value, and a second coding unit for coding error information according to a coding method different from the fractal block coding method when the error amount is greater than the predetermined value as a result of comparison.
