An electrophotographic endless metallic belt is provided that has been kept from coming to crack and from further cracking on as a result of its repeated bend and rubbing with a member coming into touch therewith, and has been improved in durability. Each edge face of the metallic belt is so shaped as to have a ridge between an outer-surface edge and an inner-surface edge of the metallic belt. Thus, it follows that the metallic belt comes into touch with the part that may cause a small internal stress by bending, at the part rubbing with the member coming into touch with the belt.
