An image processing apparatus that creates a still image from a motion picture. A storage section has a storage region for correction required when a target image with a predetermined determination size is corrected by using a plurality of images. A size determining section determines whether or not the size of the target image designated as a still image is equal to or smaller than the determination size. An image extracting section extracts from the motion picture a plurality of images including a target image designated as a still image and a first image for correction used when performing correction using a plurality of images. A still image creating section creates the still image by extracting the plurality of images by means of the image extracting section, and by executing first correction for making a correction using the plurality of images when a result of the determination indicates that the size of the target image is equal to or smaller than the determination size and that creates the still image by extracting only the target image designated as the still image by means of the image extracting section, and by executing second correction for correcting the extracted target image when the determination result indicates that the size of the target image is larger than the determination size.
