How to fax a document

To send a fax on HelloFax, all you need is a computer, an email address, and a working internet connection. No fax machine necessary! We here at HelloFax want to make them a thing of the past.

Signing in will take you straight to the "Send a fax" page. (But you can always click the tabs on the left side of your HelloFax window if you're exploring the site.) You can click the green "upload files" button to bring up folders from your computer, or you can drag and drop files to the area to the right that says “Or drag files here.”

You can also upload directly from our cloud partners if you use Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, Evernote, or OneDrive by clicking on those icons.

Once your file has been uploaded and converted, you have the option to add information to the document like your signature, check marks, text, or the date. You can do so by clicking on the green "Fill out & Sign" button that appears under the thumbnail of the document once it's converted.

Enter in your recipient’s fax number or email address and click the green Send at the bottom of the page. (Or, enter in the destination fax number and add a cover page by clicking the "+ Cover page" that appears in grey. You can read more about creating cover pages here.)

You’re done! You can visit your Faxes page to view a list of your documents, and we’ll send a notification letting you know whether your transmission has been sent successfully or whether it failed, and why.
