Disclosed are an apparatus which is capable of easily performing the personal information protection processing without changing the original image recorded in the image recorder, a method thereof, and a computer-readable recording medium having computer program recorded therein. The method for protecting personal information of a recorded image includes: performing personal information protection processing by masking a personal information protection region that needs personal information protection based on a user input signal for an original image in a predetermined section of the recorded image designated by a user; generating metadata which represents a personal information protection processing result; and generating a personal information protection processed image file including a playing program which plays the original image, the original image file, and the metadata which represents the personal information protection processing result for the original image.
