A sheet supplying device which supplies a sheet, including: a sheet supplying tray which stacks a bundle of sheets; a first air blowing section which blows air against a side of the bundle of sheets stacked on the sheet supplying tray; a second air blowing section which blows air from downstream of the bundle of sheets in a sheet conveyance direction, onto a leading section of the sheets; a vacuum conveyance section which vacuums an uppermost sheet of the bundle of sheets and conveys the sheets one by one; a shielding member which shields air blown from the first air blowing section; a vacuum detection sensor which detects that a sheet has been vacuumed by the vacuum conveyance section; and a control section which controls the shielding member to open so that air generated by the first air blowing section is blown to the bundle of sheets.
