An image forming apparatus capable of obtaining a high transfer efficiency of a toner image. An image holding member, a charging unit, an electrostatic charge image forming unit, a developing unit for storing toner, a belt member, and a transfer member are included. The transfer member 16 is disposed at a position shifted from the contact position between the belt member 15 and the image carrier 11, and the transfer unit is in contact with a part of the image carrier 11 and a part of the belt member 15. And a fixing means 60, and the toner contains a crystalline resin and a paraffinic wax having a melting temperature of 60 ° C. or higher and 80 ° C. or lower, and a difference in melting temperature between the crystalline resin and the paraffinic wax is 10 ° C. or lower. An image forming apparatus having a particle size of 6 μm or more and 9 μm or less, a shape factor SF1 of 140 or more, and a toluene insoluble content of 25% by mass or more and 45% by mass or less.
