A conveying apparatus includes a first conveying unit that conveys a recording medium, a reversing unit that reverses the recording medium conveyed by the first conveying unit, a second conveying unit that conveys the recording medium from the reversing unit to the first conveying unit, and a first supply unit and a second supply unit that supply the recording medium to the second conveying unit at different supply positions. When sequentially reversing/conveying multiple sheets of the recording medium, a control unit alternately conveys the recording medium that has been reversed by the reversing unit and the recording medium that is supplied from the first or second supply unit after a predetermined number of sheets of the recording medium have been reversed by the reversing unit, and changes the predetermined number depending on whether the recording medium is supplied from the first supply unit or the second supply unit.
