What You Need
All you need is a web browser and a document to fax. FaxTerra works on any computer, tablet, or phone — no software to install, no account required for free faxes. Your document can be a PDF, Word file, or even a photo taken with your phone camera.
Step 1: Upload Your Document
Go to faxterra.com/send and upload your document. You can drag and drop a PDF, select a file from your computer, or use our QR code uploader to snap a photo from your phone. We accept PDF, JPG, PNG, HEIC, and Word documents (.doc, .docx). Multiple files are merged into a single fax automatically.
Step 2: Preview Your Fax
Before sending, preview exactly what the recipient will see. You can zoom in to check details, rotate pages if needed, and add an optional cover page with a message. What you see in the preview is exactly what arrives at the fax machine — no ads, no watermarks, no branding added.
Step 3: Enter the Fax Number and Send
Enter the recipient's fax number (US, Canada, or 27+ international countries) and click Send. FaxTerra delivers your fax immediately and sends you an email confirmation when it's delivered. The entire process takes under 2 minutes.
How Much Does It Cost?
FaxTerra offers 10 free pages per month — no credit card required. For more pages, credit packs start at $1.99 for 10 pages ($0.20/page) with no expiration. If you need to receive faxes too, subscriptions with a dedicated fax number start at $4.99/month.
