An image forming apparatus comprises a first roller, a second roller and a control section. The first roller is arranged on a conveyance path of a sheet. The second roller is arranged downstream side of the first roller in the conveyance path. The control section calculates a deflection amount of the sheet nipped by the first roller and the second roller based on a conveyance speed of the sheet conveyed along the conveyance path, and controls a rotation speed of at least one of the first roller and the second roller based on the calculated deflection amount.
