Why “No Branding” Matters
Legal Documents
Courts and government agencies expect clean, professional faxes. Ads on your cover page undermine credibility.
Medical Records
HIPAA and patient privacy standards require clean document transmission. Branding from third parties is unprofessional.
Business Contracts
When you're closing a deal, your fax should represent your business — not someone else's.
Three steps. No surprises.

What people use FaxTerra for
Most people fax because an institution on the other end still requires it.
IRS tax forms
Form 5472, SS-4 (EIN application), amended returns, and Power of Attorney. Some IRS forms can only be submitted by fax or mail — fax is days faster.
If the IRS responds with a question or rejection, they'll fax back. Consider getting your own number so the reply reaches you.
Insurance claims & appeals
Filing claims with your insurer, appealing a rejection, or sending supporting documentation. Insurance companies still run on fax.
Your insurer may fax back a determination. With your own number, you won't miss it.
Disability & benefits paperwork
SSA forms, disability applications, workers' compensation documents, and DCFS paperwork. Government benefits offices rely heavily on fax.
Mortgage & banking documents
Loan applications, account statements, wire transfer requests, and closing documents. Banks and lenders still ask for faxed copies of signed documents.
If your bank needs additional documents, they'll fax the request. A dedicated number ensures you don't miss it during a closing.
Medical records
Sending test results, referrals, and records between healthcare providers. Patients managing care across multiple doctors use fax to coordinate.

No. Your fax arrives completely clean — no FaxTerra logo, no ads, no watermarks. The only branding on your fax is whatever you put there.

What file formats can I fax?
PDF, Word documents (.doc, .docx), and image files (JPG, PNG, HEIC). Documents are automatically optimized for fax delivery.
Is it secure?
Yes. All transmissions use 256-bit TLS encryption. Documents are encrypted at rest with AES-256. We never share your documents with third parties.
Actually free — here's the proof
Excellent · TrustScore 4.4 · 10 reviewsI checked several different fax apps and this was by far the best I found. Highly recommend.
We only needed one service, a .pdf file faxed to a number, but it performed that service without issue. We knew that this was an often-busy fax number we were sending to, but it informed us that the attempt timed out, and after we chose 'retry', it went through without problem. Quick, easy, responsive, we had no issues with it.
It really is free! No ridiculous subscription or even asking you for any banking information. Given how I only need to send a fax like once a year, this is perfect.
