1. An image allocation device configured to allocate images to be displayed among display pages based on classification into image groups, comprising: an image group classifier configured to classify a plurality of image data having image characteristic quantities into the image groups, whose number corresponds with a number of pages of the display pages, based on the image characteristic quantities; an image group sorter configured to change a sequence of the image groups according to distances between the image groups, with the distances being determined by the image characteristic quantities, and a page number changer configured to change the number of pages, and a processor configured to execute processing of each component in the image allocation device, wherein, in a case where the number of pages is changed in the page number changer, the image group classifier reclassifies the plurality of image data into image groups, whose number corresponds with a changed number of pages, based on the image characteristic quantities.
