About this app

FaxFile sends fax files or documents,including PDF files, stored on your Android phone or tablet to any fax number in the USA/Canada and many international locations. Send a fax from your phone as simply as selecting a file and entering a fax number.

FaxFile supports sending via fax PDF and Microsoft office Word documents (.doc or .docx). It can also send as a fax images in PNG and JPG formats. Enabling you to fax images saved by your phone's or tablet's camera.

You will need to purchase fax credits through the Google play store (in-app purchase) to send a fax. Fax credits are not refundable in whole or in part once you have started a fax.

Faxes transfer in the background from your phone or tablet to our fax servers which do the actual sending. Fax status is returned to the application at each step.

There no monthly subscription required in order to send faxes. NOTE: for international faxes, check the international rate table in the application before purchasing credits to verify that the country(ies) you care about are supported.

Supports sending a fax to contacts or typed in fax numbers for a one-off fax.

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

Fax formats of image files (photos of documents) takes quite a while to transfer and send as a fax.
Allow at least 3 minutes per page to transfer and two minutes to fax if you are sending a scan or image (photo) file. More if your data connection maybe ... slow.

See the introductory help in the FaxFile app and FAQ for more information.

Works with all Android devices including tablets. Requires network access of some sort. WiFi usually best.

FaxFile is HIPAA compliant.

Ratings and reviews

I haven't needed to use this app for a few years, but I needed to use it today. I paid for credits (it uses credits you pay for through the Google Play Store) years ago when I last used it. Those credits were still there! It did have some difficulty in sending 7 pages on my home wifi, but it did it in about 5 min. I do wish there was a way to connect it with Cam Scanner, and that is the main reason for a 4 star. This is a great app to have in your tool box. I highly recommend it!

This app is very user-friendly, affordable, and offers 3 cover sheets. I highly recommend this app. 😃 I replaced my previous app with FaxFile because they decided to charge an expensive membership fee of $99.99 a year! 😕 I lost the credits I still had on my account when they changed their cost policy. 😠 This app offers different sized packages of credits that will fit anyone's needs, and your credits DO NOT EXPIRE! 🙆‍♀️ My fax went through without any issues. FaxFile is great!👍🏻

Highly rated! I need to fax a few more documents to the medicaid office, I was quite nervous to do so from an app, but had no choice. The office dis receive the faxed documents! Very easy to use, and pretty affordable. They charge 10 credits per fax, and it's $2.99 for 50 credits. I guess it would be costly for a large stack of papers needing faxed, however, in a crunch, it's a life saver! Very easy to use as well!
