A fixing device has a fixing member for conveying a recording medium while holding the recording medium thereon, and fixing an image on the recording medium, a separating member having a pivot shaft and urged against the surface of the fixing member, and a guide member provided downstream of the separating member with respect to the direction of movement of the recording medium for guiding the recording medium. The separating member is of such a shape that the portion thereof from the leading end of the recording medium to an imaginary line substantially perpendicular to the direction of movement of the recording medium and passing through the pivot shaft is along the direction of conveyance of the recording medium, and the portion thereof which is downstream of the imaginary line with respect to the direction of movement of the recording medium gradually becomes far from the movement path of the recording medium.
