How Do I Fax a Document Without a Machine?

The modern answer to an old question

Fax machines still exist, but you no longer need one. NeedToFax turns any PDF or image into carrier-ready pages while you stay in your browser. You upload, we normalize the file, and the recipient still receives a traditional fax on their end.

Because payment, transmission, and delivery status live in one workflow, you avoid running between scanner, copier, and payment terminal. Everything is timestamped and tied to a job ID so you can show proof to a client, court clerk, or vendor.

Quick steps to fax a document online

1. Open needtofax.com and enter the recipient fax number. If you have a cover message or tags for accounting, add them before uploading the document.
2. Attach your PDF or image. We display an estimated page count so you know the $1 per ten pages cost before moving forward.
3. Approve the secure payment via Stripe Elements. As soon as the charge clears, we dispatch the fax and show live status updates.

Checklist before you hit “Send fax”

• Verify the destination number, including country and area code. International numbers should include a plus sign.
• Make sure the document name is recognizable—whatever you upload shows up on the delivery receipt.
• Keep the confirmation modal open until you see “Delivered” or “In Queue.” Grab a screenshot for your records.
