A fixing apparatus includes an endless heating member having a metallic conductive layer, and a pressure member pressed to the heating member to form a nip to hold and convey a medium to be fixed. The apparatus also includes an induction heating coil arranged on an outer periphery of the heating member to generate an induced current, and a position sensor to detect a front end of the medium conveyed. The apparatus further includes a controller for controlling so as to increase an output value of the induction heating coil.
