An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier configured to carry a toner image, a movable belt member configured to convey a recording material, a transfer member configured to electrostatically transfer the toner image formed on the image carrier to the recording material conveyed by the belt material, and a plurality of auxiliary separation members configured to separate the recording material from the belt member such that the belt member positioned more downstream than the transfer member in the direction in which the recording material is conveyed is boosted from the inside of the belt member to locally protrude the belt surface of the belt member in the width direction, wherein the auxiliary separation members can move correspondingly to the size of the conveyed recording material in the width direction to the position where the ends of the recording material pass in the width direction.
