An image fixing apparatus includes a fixing roller, a sheet-like-shaped member, a sheet supporter, and a stopper. The fixing roller includes a heater and is rotated to forward a recording sheet having a toner image. The sheet-like-shaped member contacts the fixing roller to form a nip area with the fixing roller. The sheet supporter supports the sheet-like-shaped member at an upstream side of a bottom surface of the sheet-like-shaped member in a sheet transfer direction. The stopper stops a free side of the sheet-like-shaped member so that the free side of the sheet-like-shaped member is not lowered below a predetermined position.
