An image forming apparatus includes an image bearing member, a flexible changing member and a developing device. When a first area to be an image forming area of the image bearing member, is present in a nip portion, a superimposed voltage resulting from a direct current voltage and an alternating voltage having a peak to peak voltage smaller than an alternating voltage applied when a charging potential of the image bearing member is converged is applied to the charging member. When a part of a second area to be a non-image area of the image bearing member exists in the nip portion, a direct current voltage without an alternating voltage is applied to the charging member.
