In a conventional image processing apparatus configured to display a preview image of a representative page of an image file including a plurality of pages and including a plurality of pieces of image data, it is difficult for a user to easily recognize, from the preview image, the content of the image file stored in a storage medium. In a technique according to the present invention, a page having a high evaluation value is detected, and a reduced image of the detected page is produced. The resultant reduced image is displayed as the preview image thereby allowing a user to easily recognize the content of the file.
