Abstract
An image reading apparatus includes a conveyor configured to convey an original in a conveyance direction; a reader configured to read an image of the original conveyed by the conveyor; and at least one processor configured to: determine, based on the image read by the reader, an inclination amount corresponding to an inclination angle of a side of a leading edge of the original in the conveyance direction, wherein the inclination angle represents an inclination of the side of the leading edge of the original with respect to a width direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction; rotationally correct the image read by the reader by the inclination amount so as to reduce the inclination amount to output a first image in which the rotationally corrected image is included in a case where the inclination amount is smaller than a predetermined amount.
