A thermographic material is disclosed which comprises a support and provided thereon, a recording layer containing a photolytic free radical generating agent capable of providing a free radical on absorption of light, a dye decolored by the free radical, and an anti-decolorizing agent, the photolytic free radical generating agent and dye being contained in a microcapsule in the recording layer, and the anti-decolorizing agent being present outside the microcapsule in the recording layer, wherein an image is formed by imagewise heating the thermographic material to mix the anti-decolorizing agent with the photolytic free radical generating agent and the dye to form a latent image, and then exposing the heated material to light which the photolytic free radical generating agent absorbs, so that the dye at the latent image portions is not decolored and the dye at portions other than the latent image portions is decolored.
