Yes. Download the free FaxBurner app from the App Store and you can send a fax in under 30 seconds. Open the app, tap Compose, attach your document or snap a photo of a paper document, enter the recipient’s fax number, and send. The app also lets you add a cover sheet, import files from cloud storage, and track delivery status.

Yes. FaxBurner lets you send faxes directly from any email account. We support all major email providers, including Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud Mail, or any other provider. Attach your document (PDF works best) to an email, put the recipient’s fax number as the subject line, and send it to [email protected]. FaxBurner converts your attachment into a fax and delivers it. You’ll receive confirmation by email when it’s sent.

Yes, your first fax is free (no credit card, no trial period, no hidden fees). Free accounts can send up to 5 pages.

If you need to send more, paid plans start at $4.99/month and include a permanent fax number, higher page limits, and the ability to receive faxes as well. Most people who need to send a single fax find the free tier covers it.

You can fax PDFs, photos (JPG, PNG), and other common document formats. You can also snap a photo of a paper document using your phone’s camera and FaxBurner will convert it to a fax-ready format. For the best fax quality, PDFs are recommended. The app also lets you import files from Dropbox, iCloud, Google Drive, and email attachments.

FaxBurner sends you a delivery confirmation by email and in-app notification once your fax is successfully transmitted. If there’s a problem — like a busy signal or wrong number — you’ll be notified of that too, so you can retry. This is one of the advantages over a physical fax machine, where you’re often left wondering.

Most faxes are delivered within a few minutes. The exact time depends on the number of pages, the file size, and the recipient’s fax machine. A typical one-to-five page document takes under five minutes from the time you hit Send to when it’s delivered. You’ll get a confirmation as soon as it goes through.

FaxBurner primarily supports faxing within the United States. Enter the recipient’s full fax number including area code. For international faxing needs, check FaxBurner’s current plan options, as international support may vary by plan level.

No, a cover sheet is optional. FaxBurner lets you add one if you want — you can type a short message that will appear as the first page of your fax. Many business and medical faxes include a cover sheet for context, but it’s not required.

Yes. You can send a fax from any computer by using FaxBurner’s email-to-fax method.

Attach your document to an email, put the recipient’s fax number in the subject line, and send it to [email protected].

You can also log in to your FaxBurner account online to compose and send faxes from your browser.

Free accounts include 5 outbound fax pages. That’s enough to send a typical document (most faxes are one to three pages). If you need to send more, paid plans include higher limits and additional features like a permanent fax number and fax archiving. Plans start at $4.99/month.

Yes. FaxBurner transmits your documents securely to the recipient’s fax machine. Your documents are handled through FaxBurner’s servers and delivered directly — there’s no shared fax machine where others could see your paperwork. For most personal and business faxing needs, online faxing provides better document security than a physical fax machine in a shared office.
