1. An image processing apparatus comprising:
at least one memory that stores a set of instructions; and
at least one processor that executes the instructions, when being executed, causing the image processing apparatus:
to convert 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,
wherein the at least one processor executes the instructions, causing the image processing apparatus:
in a case 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, to record the annotation information included in the first-format image file into the predetermined area in the second-format image file, and,
in a case when the annotation information included in the first-format image file is the predetermined annotation information, to record link information on the annotation information included in the first-format image file into the predetermined area in the second-format image file.
