The present invention provides an image forming apparatus having a space-saving configuration in a height direction wherein an optimal contact region between the intermediate transfer belt and the sheet member can always be secured despite repeated reductions and increases in pressure force. The image forming apparatus includes: a transfer device transferring a toner image to an endless rotatable transfer belt, the transfer device having a sheet member, one end of which is fixed and the other end of which contacts with an inner peripheral surface of the transfer belt; and a pressing member for pressing the sheet member to the transfer belt; and a moving unit moving the pressing member to a first pressing position where the pressing member presses the sheet member and a second pressing position which is located farther away from a part of the sheet member pressed by the pressing member than the first pressing position.
