    Abstract: An image encoding/decoding method and apparatus are provided. An image decoding method performed by an image decoding apparatus comprises decoding a first flag specifying whether in-loop filtering is able to be performed across a boundary of a subpicture from a bitstream and performing the in-loop filtering on a boundary of a current block, based on the first flag.
