An image forming apparatus includes an image carrier, a transfer roller, a heating rotator, a pressure rotator, a chute, a motor, a rotator, and a link. The image carrier carries a toner image. The transfer roller transfers the toner image onto a sheet. The chute is movable between a first chute position at which the chute guides the sheet toward a fixing position, and a second chute position. The rotator receives a driving force from the motor and rotates. The rotator includes a projection protruding from a position different from a rotation axis of the rotator. The link has an elongated hole engaged with the projection. The link is movable, in conjunction with rotation of the rotator, between a first position at which the link locates the chute at the first chute position, and a second position at which the link locates the chute at the second chute position.
