An image processing apparatus for overwriting image data at a low cost and high speed. An image input unit sequentially inputs partial data of an image data. An overwriting unit overwrites a non-coded partial data stored in a compressed page memory with the input partial image data and stores the result in a small area buffer. A process prediction unit analyzes a plurality of image data that are objects of an overwriting process, and predicts whether further overwriting is performed. When it is predicted that no further overwriting is performed, the partial image data is coded in a coder and updated in the compressed page memory. When it is predicted that a further overwriting is performed, the non-coded image data is updated in the compressed page memory. When the overwriting process of every partial image data of all of the image data is complete, the overwritten image data is stored as code data in the compressed page memory.
