How to send a fax from an Android phone

Any Android phone with Chrome can send a fax. There's nothing to install: open fastfax.app, add your pages and send.

FastFax lets you send a fax online from your phone or computer for as little as 2¢ a page, with no subscription. US fax numbers only, up to 100 pages per fax.

Fax from Android in 4 steps

1. Open fastfax.app in Chrome (or any browser).
2. Tap Scan to photograph your pages with the camera, or Upload documents to pick a PDF or photo from your phone, Google Drive or Downloads.
3. Type the fax number. Add a cover page if you need one.
4. Check the preview, tap Send, and watch the status until it says Delivered.

Faxing a file from Gmail or Google Drive

In Gmail, tap the attachment's download icon so it lands in Downloads, then pick it from Upload documents. In Google Drive, use the file picker on FastFax: Drive files show up there on most Android phones. Google Docs files need to be downloaded as PDF first (in Docs: ⋮ menu, Share & export, Save as, PDF).

Scanning tips

• Lay the page flat on a darker surface.
• Fill most of the screen with the page; FastFax finds the edges and straightens it.
• Leave black and white on for sharper text.

Install it like an app

In Chrome, open the ⋮ menu and tap Add to Home screen or Install app. FastFax then opens from your home screen.
