A photothermographic material comprising a photosensitive silver halide, a non-photosensitive organic silver salt, a reducing agent for a silver ion and a binder on one surface of a support, wherein a silver behenate-content of the non-photosensitive organic silver salt is 40 to 70 mol %, and the photothermographic material comprises a compound that can be one-electron-oxidized to provide a one-electron oxidation product, which further releases at least 1 electron, one of during and after a subsequent reaction.
