A conveying apparatus has a first conveying roller pair; a second conveying roller pair; a first conveying path through which a sheet is conveyed in such a manner that the first conveying roller pair is placed downstream of the second conveying roller pair; and a second conveying path through which the sheet is conveyed in such a manner that the first conveying roller pair is placed upstream of the second conveying roller path. A circumferential velocity of at least one of the first conveying roller pair and the second conveying roller pair is switched so as to meet conditions, i.e., |Va|>|Vb| when the sheet is conveyed through the first conveying path and |Va|≦̸|Vb| when the sheet is conveyed through the second conveying path. Here, |Va| is an absolute value of the circumferential velocity of the first conveying roller pair, and |Vb| is an absolute value of the circumferential velocity of the second conveying roller pair. |
