An image forming apparatus includes a fixing section and a guiding section. The guiding section includes first and second guiding members. The first guiding member is in a first conveyance path for a first recording sheet having a first width and contacts the first recording sheet to guide the first recording sheet to a discharging portion. The second guiding member is in an area of a second conveyance path a the second recording sheet having a second width larger than the first width and guides the second recording sheet to the discharge portion at an angle so that a contact length of the second recording sheet with the heating member along a conveyance direction of the second recording sheet is shorter than a contact length of the first recording sheet with the heating member along a conveyance direction of the first recording sheet.
