An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier onto which toner images formed by an image forming part are sequentially transferred so as to overlap one another and form a toner image thereupon, a transfer part transferring the toner image onto a transfer material conveyed thereto, a conveyance part conveying the transfer material toward the transfer part, the conveyance part having a roller to which the rotational driving force is transmitted by a spur gear, and a transfer material main-scanning direction position correction mechanism for correcting deviation in a transfer material position in a main-scanning direction, and a control part to perform correction of a transfer material position in the main-scanning direction and that in the sub-scanning direction by changing rotational velocity of the roller, in a time overlapping manner.
