A sheet post-processing device receives a sheet from an image forming apparatus conveys a plurality of the sheets to a staple tray to form a sheet pile, and staples the sheet pile with a stapler. The stapler is arranged along a first side of the staple tray in a sheet width direction and has an opening for taking in a second side of the sheet pile when stapling the sheet pile at a staple position. The stapler unit is arranged at a position that a central portion of the second side of the sheet pile is situated inside the opening, and the staple position is located downstream of an alignment surface of an aligning member in a sheet conveying direction that aligns ends of the sheets in the sheet pile.
