PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fixing device which can efficiently heat a nip, has a high degree of freedom in the design of a nip shape, and prevents the generation of a crease or a curl in many kinds of recording materials to realize the improvement of a fixing characteristic, and to provide an image forming apparatus provided with the same. SOLUTION: The fixing device has an endless belt-like film 117a, a film guide 117b which is pressed by a pressure roll 118a through the film 117a to form the nip, guides the traveling of the film 117a in the nip part, and supports the film 117a, a halogen heater 119a which generates heat in response to the supply of electric power from a power source to heat the film guide 117b, and a reflector 119b which reflects the heat from the halogen heater 119a toward the surface at the opposite side of the nip of the film guide 117b.
