A sheet pressing device of the present invention includes: a pair of pressing rollersthat press, in a fold thickness direction, a fold of a folded sheet bundle BS conveyed in a folded state; and a pressing roller unitthat moves the pressing roller pair in a sheet fold direction while supporting the same. The pressing roller pairpresses the fold in one of a first region Rwhere rollers of the pressing roller pairare brought into pressure contact with each other and a second region Radjacent to the first region Ron an upstream side thereof where rollers of the pressing roller pairare opposed to each other at an interval. With this configuration, it is possible to minimize damage on a sheet end portion and reduce a moving load of the pressing roller pair
