A transfer device includes a second transfer roller that has an elastic layer and a surface layer disposed in tight contact with an outer side of the elastic layer and rotates to transfer a toner image on a surface of an intermediate transfer body onto a recording medium, a scraping member that is in contact with the second transfer roller to scrape an attached substance off the surface layer, and a pressed member that is pressed against the surface layer on a downstream side of a contact portion with the intermediate transfer body and on an upstream side of the scraping member in a rotating direction of the second transfer roller and rotates in a forward direction with respect to rotation of the second transfer roller.
