Got a .tif or .tiff fax that won't open properly, or only shows the first page? Faxly opens multi-page TIFF files and faxes on your iPhone and lets you flip through every page — then export them as a PDF or as JPGs. Open a TIFF from Files, or tap "Open in Faxly" from Mail or another app. Swipe through the pages, pick PDF or JPG, and export. • EVERY PAGE, NOT JUST THE FIRST — multi-page TIFFs and fax files open with all their pages. Swipe or use the arrows; a page counter shows where you are. • ONE MULTI-PAGE PDF — all pages combined into a single PDF, ready to share, print or save. • OR ONE JPG PER PAGE — easy to upload or attach. Save them all to Photos in one tap. • UPRIGHT PAGES — the orientation stored in the file is applied, so pages export the right way up. • OPEN FROM ANYWHERE — Files, Mail attachments, or the share sheet of another app. • SHARE OR SAVE — send the export on, or save it to Files. Honest scope: Faxly is a viewer and converter — it doesn't edit, annotate or sign pages, and it opens one file at a time. Very large pages are scaled so the longest side is at most 4096 pixels when exported. JPG exports can be saved to Photos; share the PDF instead. Your files are opened and converted on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded, and no account is needed. Viewing is free. Try 3 exports free; a one-time $4.99 purchase unlocks unlimited exports. No subscription, no ads. Questions: overlapmarr@gmail.com

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: UTube Embed Player at none against Faxly's 1. Faxly's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
