A transfer device includes at least one pair of lateral plates, an intermediate transfer belt, a plurality of rollers, and a dynamic vibration absorber. The intermediate transfer belt is formed into an endless loop and is entrained about the plurality of rollers. The dynamic vibration absorber is disposed on at least one of the plurality of rollers and includes an inertial body. The inertial body is disposed inside the endless loop of the intermediate transfer belt, and both ends of the inertial body in an axial direction of the inertial body are rotatably supported by the at least one pair of lateral plates via shaft bearings.
