A fixing apparatus includes: a first fixing unit including a first heating unit heats to a transfer material onto which an image has been transferred and a first pressure unit that forms a first nip portion; a second fixing unit including a second heating unit heats to the transfer material fixed in the first fixing unit and a second pressure unit that forms a second nip portion; and a fixing unit suction guide, including a suction surface that sucks the transfer material fixed in the first fixing unit upward with a surface of the transfer material onto which the image has been transferred facing downward, an end of the suction surface on a side toward the second fixing unit in a transport direction of the transfer material being located higher in the vertical direction than an imaginary line that connects the first nip portion and the second nip portion.
