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

You need a computer — Windows, macOS or Linux —, a browser kept up to date, a mailbox you can check immediately and the document to transmit: PDF, Word, Excel or OpenDocument, image, text. The fax machine, the telephone line and the modem belong to Faxeroo's infrastructure, which places the call 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.

Check the confirmation email and click its link within three minutes. A countdown of roughly 55 seconds then starts, cancellable right to the end; the transmission begins after it, under the eye of the tracking page.

Before clicking on "send"

Word, Excel or LibreOffice files are dropped as they are: our servers translate them into PDF following the original layout. From Pages or Google Docs, a prior export to PDF or .docx is required. A paper sheet goes through a scanner — or a smartphone in document mode — before reaching the computer.

Re-read the number digit by digit: once the transmission has left, a fax sent to the wrong correspondent cannot be retrieved.

Keeping a record

With the receipts option (€2.99 including VAT, charged on actual delivery), the PDFs become downloadable after the send. Keep them with a copy of the document sent: the date and the number called will remain retrievable.

Key points

  • A browser stands in for the machine, the line and the software.
  • PDF, office file or image, up to 100 MB: the first page costs nothing, then €3.99 including VAT.
  • Validation by email link, then a cancellable countdown.
  • PDF receipts option to keep the proof.
