## What is FAX for iPhone?

Fax send from iPhone or iPad.  Fax documents including PDF documents or scans from your iPhone or iPad to fax numbers in the USA/Canada and to many international locations. Send fax from an iPhone as simply as selecting a document and entering the fax number.
 
Supports faxing to toll-free numbers.

Fax multiple files (documents) to multiple fax recipients simultaneously.

Fax from directly from Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, OneDrive and Apple's iCloud Drive storage.

Made and hosted entirely in the USA.  Your data never travels to another country unless you send it there.  

FaxFile supports fax sending pdf and Microsoft office Word documents (.doc or .docx). It can also send as a fax images - this enables you to fax pictures from your iPhone, iPad or iTouch camera.

FaxFile supports using a fax number from an iPhone contact or typed in fax numbers for a one-off fax.

Also supports direct image capture (scan) and document transfer from a variety of applications.

FaxFile automatically and repeatedly retry faxes that don't go through initially - no additional charge and you don't need to do anything.

You will need to purchase fax credits through the app to send a fax. Fax credits are not refundable in whole or in part.

NOTE: for international faxes, check the price in the application before purchasing credits to verify that the countries you care about are supported.


If a fax fails to go through PLEASE call the number and verify that a fax machine is actually answering. This is the number one problem with failed faxes. Don't rely on "of course the fax machine is working".

Faxes of image files (photos of documents) can take quite a while to send as a fax.  Allow 1-3 minutes per page to fax if you are sending a scan or image (photo) file.

### 5/5 — Simple to use

*2026-08-19, version 4.6*

Great tool for sending documents! Simple and convenient.

### 5/5 — Still th best

*2026-08-06, version 4.6*

Fax File is still the best Faxing App I have encountered after at least ten years. Most straight forward and easy to use then several others I’ve tried. I always come back to Fax File. I highly recommend.

### 1/5 — Fax not received

*2026-07-24, version 4.6*

I am receiving the delivered message but my doctors are NOT receiving the fax’s I sent . This is an inconvenience because then I have to reach out to different individuals and have them personally fax my doctors the documents needed; the same documents I have in my possession after a hassle getting them. I first thought this was a one time occurrence, but now multiple doctors from different facilities say they didn’t receive anything after a week of faxing it.

### 5/5 — Wonderful option for a quick fax

*2026-06-25, version 4.6*

In a hurry lady

### 5/5 — Always good to have this app on hand

*2026-06-23, version 4.6*

Easy to use, have had it for yesrs

### 5/5 — It’s been good 2 Me

*2026-05-05, version 4.6*

In over 5 years…APP HAS NEVER FAILED ME YET!

### 5/5 — 5 Stars

*2026-04-29, version 4.6*

Reliable & Accessible

### 1/5 — App Shares Private Apple Account Info, with all fax recipients

*2026-04-15, version 4.6*

I was shocked to find out my private Apple account information, including my personal email and phone number, was shared with FAX recipients without my knowledge, and without any kind of notification from the app or inclusion on the Fax receipt. The information is not included, requested or referenced in the Fax preparation tasks and questions, and you are not notified that all your information will be shared. When I contacted support, they first stated it was only for “app use”, but when I asked why my private contact info (which they automatically inserted into the sent fax without any indication showing on the user interface) was added to the “Sender information”, when it was already listed in “app specific” sections of the settings, there was no reply.

### 5/5 — Convenient & reputable

*2026-04-13, version 4.6*

The best service out there. With the new times, not having locations like years ago to do the service at an affordable price - this is great. Ive never ran into any issues, easy accessing files, creating Cover pages, and honestly the prices are pretty much same or even better in the comfort of your home.

### 5/5 — Perfect Fax app

*2026-04-06, version 4.6*

Perfect App for me having to fax occasionally from my iPad.  I fax all correspondence to my Doctor for appointments and medication requests and renewals. Indispensable for me.
