Summary
The form takes the PDF as it is, office files (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, RTF, OpenDocument), images (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, TIFF, then AVIF) and plain text (.txt, .csv), with a 100 MB ceiling and a single file accepted per send. Whatever is not a PDF undergoes a conversion on our servers first; the page count waits for that conversion to finish.
What the form supports
A PDF leaves unchanged. Word (.doc, .docx) and Excel (.xls, .xlsx), PowerPoint (.ppt, .pptx), the OpenDocument suites (.odt, .ods, .odp) or RTF become PDFs, like a hand-made export. The .txt and .csv files, for their part, are laid out on A4 in a standard font; characters outside the Latin alphabet — Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, ideograms, emojis — leave "?" behind. Pages, Numbers or Google Docs are exported to PDF or .docx first.
Two bounds to keep in mind: 100 MB, and a single file per send — nothing is merged for you. To send several items at once, assemble them beforehand into one PDF. The cover page, for its part, is born from the form: no need to attach one. The file leaves our servers as soon as the send is finished.
Photos, spreadsheets, presentations: the reality on arrival
Each image is straightened according to the orientation noted by the camera, passed into greyscale, set to the fax resolution, then laid on an A4 page — one image per page, then. A multi-page TIFF renders all its sheets; an animated GIF keeps only its first frame. For a paper sheet, a well-framed scan always beats a photo taken awry.
The spreadsheet, for its part, prints sheet by sheet according to the layout of the file: a wide table can spread over several pages, and whatever overflows the print area stays behind — check it, along with the preview, before submitting. Each slide of a presentation in principle fits on one page.
Page count, locked files or out-of-bounds files
The page count — and therefore the amount — is established after conversion: one free page, then €3.99 including VAT settles the whole send. A .docx that slightly overflows onto a second page counts two; a spreadsheet can reserve far more than expected. A file locked by a password neither opens nor converts: remove the protection and drop it again. If the conversion resists, export a PDF from your software, then retry the submission.
An enormous file almost always hides photos left at full definition. Now fax knows only black and white, around 200 dots per inch: set the scanner between 200 and 300 dpi, greyscale mode, or lighten the existing document — the recipient's paper would see nothing of it.
Key points
- From PDF to .csv, via office files and images.
- One file per send maximum, 100 MB ceiling.
- Pages and price follow the conversion: watch the print area.
- Every password must disappear from the file.
