An image forming apparatus, which improves the stacking ability of a sheet and prevents contamination of an image formed surface at a low cost, includes a frame, an image forming portion forming an image on the sheet, a first conveying path through which the sheet on which the image is formed by the image forming portion is conveyed, a sheet discharge tray provided outside the frame and onto which the sheet conveyed through the first conveying path is discharged so as to be accommodated on the sheet discharge tray. A sheet discharging roller rotatable in a direction of discharges the sheet onto the sheet discharge tray in a reverse direction thereof. A second conveying path extends downwardly inside the frame from the first sheet discharging roller as an end of the second conveying path, with a section thereof formed in substantially an S-shape, in which the second conveying path conveys the sheet P conveyed in the direction of discharging from the first conveying path onto the sheet discharge tray by the first sheet discharging roller and pulled into the frame by reversely rotating the first sheet discharging roller during discharging.
