An image forming apparatus includes a width-information acquisition unit, an environmental-condition detecting unit, a heat roller, an end-portion-temperature-detecting unit, a first heater, a second heater, a first control unit, a first control unit, a correction-value derivation unit, an extracting unit, and a second control unit. The first heater heats a center portion of the heat roller. The second heater heats the end portion of the heat roller. The first control unit controls electric power supplied to the first heater with a first duty ratio. The correction-value derivation unit derives a correction value for the temperature condition based on an environmental condition. The extracting unit reflects the correction value for the temperature condition to extract a second duty ratio from among a plurality of second duty ratios. The second control unit controls the electric power supplied to the second heater with the data of the extracted second duty ratio.
