How to send a free fax from a computer
Any browser on a Windows PC, a Mac or a Chromebook works, with nothing to install. Best when the document is already a file: a PDF from an agency, a form you filled in, a photo someone sent you.
- 1Upload a PDF, image, or photo. Multiple files merge into one fax in the order you add them.
- 2Preview every page exactly as the receiving machine will print it, cover page included.
- 3Enter the fax number and send. An email confirms the moment it is delivered.
Full walkthrough: how to send a fax from your computer.
How to send a free fax from an iPhone
In Safari, the steps are the same as on a computer: upload the document from your files or photos, check the preview, and send. The FaxTerra app from the App Store adds two things the browser cannot. Point the camera at a paper page and the app finds its edges, crops it, and straightens it, and a push notification tells you the moment the fax is delivered. Your faxes and your 10 free pages a month are the same in Safari and in the app.
Step by step: how to send a fax from your phone.
How to send a free fax from an Android phone
Chrome or any other Android browser works the way a computer does: pick the file or the photo from your phone, read through the preview, and enter the fax number. The FaxTerra app on Google Play scans paper with the camera, cropping and straightening each page so a form arrives as a clean sheet rather than a skewed photo, and notifies you when the fax is delivered. Sending from the browser and from the app draws on the same free pages each month.
Step by step: how to send a fax from your phone.
How to fax a photo for free
A phone photo of a paper document faxes well. Upload the JPG, PNG or HEIC your camera saved, and FaxTerra cleans it up for fax before it sends. The preview shows each page in black and white, exactly as it will print, so you can check the text is readable before anything goes out. Turn a page the right way up or remove one there. Several photos of a multi-page form merge into one fax in the order you add them.
How to fax a PDF or Word file for free
A PDF uploads as it is, every page in order, and a sideways page is turned to fit the fax sheet rather than cropped. A Word document needs one step first: save or export it as a PDF from Word, Google Docs or Pages, then upload the PDF. There is no page limit on a fax. Your free pages cover 10 a month, and a longer document goes out on credits or a plan.
How to fax a document from Gmail or email
FaxTerra does not accept faxes submitted by email, so the email itself cannot carry your fax here. What you need is the attachment. Download it from the email, open FaxTerra in the browser on the same computer or phone, and upload it, or pick it from your files in the FaxTerra app. From there it sends like any other document, free within your monthly pages.
What the free tier includes
FaxTerra is a full fax service: sending, receiving, your own number, encryption in transit and at rest, and HIPAA compliance on any paid plan.

Common questions
Is there a truly free fax service?
Yes. FaxTerra gives every account 10 free pages each calendar month to any supported country, with no credit card and no trial that converts to a paid plan. Other free offers are shaped differently: a few faxes a day of 3 pages, a handful of pages granted once, or a trial that bills a card. Our comparison of the best free fax services lays out each one's published limits.
How many pages can I fax for free?
10 pages each calendar month, resetting on the 1st. There is no per-fax cap inside that allowance, so a single 10-page document sends free. Credit packs start at $1.99 for 10 pages, and credits never expire.
What does FaxZero put on a free fax?
Their own logo and slogan at the top of a mandatory cover page, and, by their FAQ, your name, company name, email address and IP address in the sender-information area of the fax itself. The $3.29 paid send removes the branding and lets you drop the cover page.
Can I send a fax to another country for free?
Yes. Free pages send to all 27 supported countries, and a page outside the US and Canada counts as two of them, so the free pages cover 5 international pages a month. Credits and plan pages reach the same countries, and credits never expire.
Do I need a credit card to send a free fax?
No. Free pages need only a free account, with no card on file and nothing to cancel.
Can you fax for free with Gmail?
Not with FaxTerra. FaxTerra does not accept faxes sent by email, so if your document is sitting in Gmail, download the attachment, upload it at faxterra.com/send, and it goes out free within your monthly pages. See our fax to email guide for both directions.
Where can I fax for free near me?
Libraries, print shops and shipping stores will send a fax for you, but they usually charge for each page; what each one charges is on its own page here. The free route is online, from the phone or computer you already have, within your 10 free pages a month.
What is the cheapest way to send a fax?
Sending free. Your 10 free pages every month cost nothing and need no card on file. When you need more in a month, the smallest credit pack is $1.99 for 10 pages, and credits never expire.
Is eFax still free?
No. eFax offers a trial that needs a credit card and bills it when the trial ends, so it is not a free tier. Our comparison of the best free fax services shows which services are free and which are trials.
Can I receive faxes for free?
Receiving needs a fax number of your own, included with any paid plan from $4.99/month. Free accounts send from a shared FaxTerra number. Subscribe before you send if you expect a reply by fax.
What is the catch with free fax services?
The usual catches are a "free" tier that is really a one-time allowance, a trial that charges your card after seven days, or a free send that prints the service's logo and your contact details on the cover page. FaxTerra's free tier has none of those: 10 clean pages a month, recurring, no card. The limits are that a page outside the US and Canada counts as two of them and that receiving requires a paid plan.

What people say about FaxTerra
Excellent · TrustScore 4.7I needed to fax something and the closest fax machine is about a 30 min drive away. I looked up if there was a way to get the fax done without having to drive and tried out FaxTerra. The website and experience were both logical and easy.
This is by far the quickest, easiest way to send a fax anywhere. No hassle, easy signup with just your Google account, decent amount of pages per month, and you don't have to deal with advertisements or watermarks added to your documents. Highly recommended!
I checked several different fax apps and this was by far the best I found. Highly recommend.
Your first fax can be out in two minutes
