The Cheapest Way to Fax a Large Document
Most fax services force you into a monthly subscription just to send one document. FaxTerra lets you pay for exactly what you need — no subscription, no leftover charges, nothing to remember to cancel.
What it actually costs to fax a large document
Side-by-side cost for a single fax at common page counts. FaxTerra uses one-time credit packs. The major services require a monthly subscription.

One document doesn't need a monthly plan
The major services sell monthly subscriptions (eFax Personal is $18.99/mo) — the right model for an office that faxes daily, the wrong one for a single large send. Credit packs cover the one-off.
Why pay-per-use wins →Most "free" tiers don't cover real documents
FaxZero caps free faxes at 3 pages and brands the cover page. Most contracts, IRS forms, and legal documents run 5–30 pages. Our free tier is 10 pages/month — enough for most single-use faxes.
Browser-based, any device
For something you'll use once, downloading an app shouldn't be required. FaxTerra runs in your browser on your phone or computer. Sign in with a magic link — no password needed.

Common Questions
What is the cheapest way to fax a 20-page document?
FaxTerra's Standard credit pack sends up to 30 pages for $4.99 — no subscription, no monthly commitment. That's under $0.17 per page. The major subscription services (eFax $18.99/mo, MyFax $12.00/mo) charge a monthly plan for the same job, and free services cap at 3–5 pages.
Can I fax a large document for free?
If your document is 10 pages or fewer, FaxTerra's free tier covers it — 10 free pages per month to any supported country, no credit card required. For larger documents, credit packs start at $1.99 for 10 pages.
Do I need a subscription to fax a large document?
No. FaxTerra offers one-time credit packs specifically for people who need to send one fax without committing to a monthly plan. Buy the pages you need, send your fax, and you're done.
What file formats can I fax?
PDF and image files: JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, GIF, BMP, WebP. Save Word documents as PDF first. Large multi-page PDFs are handled automatically, with no need to split your document.
How long does it take to fax a 20-page document?
Upload and preview take under a minute. Fax transmission itself runs at roughly a minute per page, so a 20-page document typically completes in 15–25 minutes depending on the receiving machine. You don't have to watch it — close the tab and you'll get a delivery confirmation by email.
