How can I fax from my computer, with no fax machine?

Summary

Open Faxeroo in your browser and fill in the form: identity, recipient, subject, message for the cover page. Attach the document — PDF, Word, image… — then validate: a confirmation link reaches you by email; once clicked and a minute's countdown has elapsed, the number is dialled for you. No machine, no telephone line, no software to install.

What you need to have to hand

Only four things are needed to fax: a PC with Windows, macOS or Linux installed, an up-to-date browser, a working email address you can read right away, and the document itself. Supported file types include PDF, Word, Excel, OpenDocument, plain text, and image files. Modems, telephone lines and sending equipment all sit within Faxeroo’s infrastructure, so our system takes care of each dialing stage on your behalf.

The process, from one end to the other

Complete the form: a name, an email address, the correspondent to reach, their country then their number written as dialled locally, a subject and, if you care to, a few lines for the cover page. Finally drop in the file, without exceeding 100 MB; as soon as it counts two pages or more after conversion, €3.99 including VAT is settled by card.

Open the confirmation email and follow the link inside — you have three minutes to do so. A roughly 55-second countdown then begins, and you may cancel it while it runs. Once it reaches zero, the transmission starts, followed on the tracking page.

Before clicking on "send"

Word, Excel or LibreOffice files can be dropped as-is: our servers convert them into PDF, preserving the original layout. Pages or Google Docs files require a prior export to PDF or .docx. For a paper sheet, a scanner — or a smartphone in document mode — is needed before it reaches the computer.

Re-read the number carefully, checking every digit: a fax dispatched to the wrong correspondent cannot be retrieved once the transmission has left.

Keeping a record

If you opt for receipts (€2.99, VAT included, charged only on actual delivery), the PDFs can be downloaded right after sending. Store them next to the document you transmitted: the date and the number called will remain retrievable.

Key points

  • The browser stands in for the hardware, the connection, and the programs.
  • PDF, office file or image up to 100 MB; one page goes free, longer files cost €3.99 including VAT in total.
  • Confirm through the link we email you; a brief countdown follows, and you may abort during it.
  • PDF receipts option to keep the proof.
