Photothermographic material

A photothermographic material comprising, on at least one side of a support, an image forming layer comprising at least a photosensitive silver halide, a non-photosensitive organic silver salt, a reducing agent for silver ions, and a binder, wherein the photothermographic material comprises a compound represented by the following formula (I) and a coupler which reacts with an oxidation product of the compound represented by formula (I) to form a dye, and a density obtained by the dye at a maximum absorption wavelength of the dye is from 0.005 to 0.5 when an image density is from 1.1 to 1.3:

• wherein R1, R2, R3 and R4 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a substituent;
• R5 and R6 each independently represent an alkyl group, an aryl group, a heterocyclic group, an acyl group, or a sulfonyl group;
• members in at least one combination of R1 and R2, R3 and R4, R5 and R6, R2 and R5, and R4 and R6 may bond to each other to form a 5-, 6-, or 7-membered ring;
• and R7 represents a block group.
