It is an object of the present invention to provide a thermal transfer material which has an image forming layer of low fusible viscosity, which has an excellent transferring sensitivity, which is able to form a high quality image, and in which leakage of a thermally fusible substance is not caused so that there is hardly any contamination of hardware such as an image forming device by the thermally fusible substance. Such an object is accomplished by providing a thermal transfer material having a support, and on the support, an image forming layer which contains a pigment, at least one thermally fusible substance, and at least one resin, in which given that a weight ratio of one thermally fusible substance i to one resin j is bij (weight of the thermally fusible substance i/weight of the resin j), and an absolute value of a difference between solubility parameter (SP) values of the thermally fusible substance i and the resin j is aij (absolute value of (SP value of the thermally fusible substance i)-(SP value of the resin j)), then bij<(0.03/Aij).
