Provided is an image processing device capable of obtaining a trimming image including a characteristic part of a target image without having a person to select the characteristic part of the target image. A setting unit sets a plurality of trimming candidate areas in a target image. A calculation unit calculates, with respect to each of a plurality of trimming candidate areas, a total value of edge amounts of pixels in the trimming candidate area. A determination unit determines a trimming area from among the plurality of trimming candidate areas, based on the total value of each of the plurality of trimming candidate areas. An obtaining unit obtains an image in the trimming area.
