PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus in which ghost (image unevenness generated because history of the last image remains) resulting from external additive remained in a photoreceptor is suppressed in comparison with the case that a specific external additive removing means for removing the external additive of toner is not provided. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes: for example, the photoreceptor 10; a charger 12; an exposure device 14; a developing device 16; a transfer device 18; a toner particle cleaning device 20 which removes toner particles remained on the surface of the photoreceptor 10 after transfer of a toner image by the transfer device 18; and an external additive cleaning device having a conductive blade 22A which is arranged by being brought into contact with the surface of the photoreceptor 10, and removes the external additive remained on the surface of the photoreceptor 10 while impressing voltage on the surface of the photoreceptor 10 by the conductive blade 22A after the transfer of the toner image by the transfer device 18.
