PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent a scratch on the surface of a fixing roller caused by, for example, insertion of paper. SOLUTION: The image heating apparatus includes: the fixing roller 110 having a releasing layer on its surface; a heating means for heating the fixing roller 110; and a pressure roller (backup member) 111 forming a nip together with the fixing roller 110, by which a recording member with images thereon is pinched and conveyed. In the image heating apparatus, the fixing roller 110 and a sliding member 112 arranged in contact with the surface of the fixing roller 110 are relatively moved in a direction intersecting with the rotational direction of the fixing roller 110 while the fixing roller 110 is heated by the heating means.
