A sheet conveying apparatus comprising: a pair of rotary portions that nip and convey a sheet in a sheet conveying direction; a reference surface which is provided along the sheet conveying direction; a first conveying portion which, obliquely with respect to the sheet conveying direction, conveys the sheet conveyed by the pair of rotary portions so as to contact the side edge of the sheet to the reference surface; a second conveying portion which is disposed downstream of the first conveying portion in the sheet conveying direction and which, obliquely with respect to the sheet conveying direction, conveys the sheet so as to contact the side edge of the sheet to the reference surface; a switching portion which switches the pair of rotary portions between a state of nipping the sheet and a state of nip releasing the sheet; a detecting portion which detects the sheet conveyed by the pair of rotary portions; and a controller which controls to stop the rotation of the pair of rotary portions based on the detection of the detecting portion before the leading edge of the sheet reaches the second conveying portion, and controls the switching portion so that the nip of the sheet by the pair of rotary portions is released after the pair of rotary portions starts rotating and the leading edge of the sheet in the conveying direction reaches the second conveying portion.
