The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for processing image. The method includes: determining a first translation amount based on a first voice coil motor (VCM) value of a first image photographed by a wide-angle camera, the VCM value is a normalized value corresponding to a magnitude of a current acting on a coil of a VCM in response to successful focusing of the camera; determining a second translation amount based on a zoom multiple of the first image and the first translation amount; and obtaining a target image by translating the first image by the second translation amount and amplifying the first image. According to the present disclosure, smooth switching of zooming can be achieved, and obvious geometric jump of images in continuous focal lengths and between focal lengths is avoided, thereby providing a good zooming experience to the user.
