PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of sufficiently preventing the occurrence of a void image without damaging a photoreceptor and an intermediate transfer body and obtaining an excellent image quality for a long period of time. SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus is characterized in that a photosensitive layer of the photoreceptor has a surface layer formed on the opposite face to a conductive substrate; the surface layer includes a phenol derivative-containing layer which contains a phenol derivative having a methylol group and a charge transporting material having at least one kind selected from a hydroxyl group, carboxyl group, alkoxysilyl group, epoxy group, thiol group and amino group; and the phenol derivative-containing layer shows an IR absorption spectrum satisfying the condition represented by formula:(P<SB>2</SB>/P<SB>1</SB>)≤0.2, wherein P<SB>1</SB>is the absorbance at a maximum absorption peak present in 1,560 to 1,640 cm<SP>-1</SP>and P<SB>2</SB>is the absorbance at a maximum absorption peak present in 1,645 to 1,700 cm<SP>-1</SP>.
