An image forming apparatus includes a first conveying unit provided downstream an image forming unit; a second conveying unit provided downstream the first conveying unit; a first cutting unit provided downstream the second conveying unit; and a second cutting unit provided downstream the first cutting unit. One of the first and second cutting units cuts an upstream end of an image on the continuous sheet, the other cuts a downstream end of the same image. The second conveying unit is stopped during the cutting by the first cutting unit to form a loop of the continuous sheet, and then if the cutting is ended, the second conveying unit conveys the continuous sheet at a higher conveyance speed than a conveyance speed by the first conveying unit to reduce the loop.
