A conveying device includes a support member that supports a conveyed medium; a rotation member that is rotated by a drive unit, the rotation member having a contact surface for contacting the conveyed medium supported by the support member to cause the conveyed medium to move on a rotation of the rotation member; a position-changing unit that changes a position of the support member in accordance with the rotation of the rotation member from a first position where the conveyed medium does not contact the contact surface to a second position where the conveyed medium contacts the contact surface; and a buffer mechanism that allows movement of the position-changing unit or the support member in a direction opposite to a direction of the position change of the support member from the first position to the second position caused by the position-changing unit.
