How do I fax something for the first time?

arrow navbar

Faxing something for the first time takes a couple of minutes. Create your account, open the Send Fax section and type the recipient's fax number. Upload the paperwork you need to fax, whether it is a paper scan or a digital file, hit Send and wait for the delivery confirmation.

How to fax over the internet?

arrow navbar

Faxing over the internet replaces the phone line with your existing connection: your document is converted and delivered to any fax number worldwide. With Fax.Plus you can fax over the internet from the web app, the mobile app, your email inbox or even a connected printer, and add a fax cover sheet before sending.

How can I send a fax electronically?

arrow navbar

Sending a fax electronically means the document travels through a secure online fax service instead of a physical machine. Your file is transmitted over the internet to the recipient's fax number, and you get a delivery report by email or push notification. It works from any device, with no dedicated hardware.

What is the best way to send a fax online?

arrow navbar

The best way depends on where your document lives. The web and mobile apps are the fastest option for occasional faxes, email to fax is ideal if you spend the day in your inbox, and integrations like Google Drive or Microsoft Word suit document-heavy workflows. Every method delivers to any fax machine or online fax number.

Can I send a fax online from my computer or mobile?

arrow navbar

Yes. Any computer or smartphone works: Windows, macOS, iPhone and Android are all supported through the web app, the desktop app and the mobile app. Your account and fax history stay in sync across every device.

Email to fax is one of the fastest ways to send a fax online. Compose an email, enter the recipient's fax number followed by @fax.plus in the To field, attach your documents and hit send.

Can I receive a fax on my computer?

How long does it take to send a fax online?
