Abstract
An image processing apparatus that is capable of converting an image file such that all annotation information recorded in the image file can be used. When converting a first-format image file including image data and annotation information on the image data to a second-format image file whose memory capacity of a predetermined area, where annotation information is recorded, is less than that of the first-format image file, the image processing apparatus, when the annotation information included in the first-format image file is not predetermined annotation information whose data amount is equal to or greater than a predetermined value, records the annotation information into the predetermined area in the second-format image file, and, when the annotation information included in the first-format image file is the predetermined annotation information, records link information on the annotation information in the predetermined area in the second-format image file.
