How to fax a Word document

FastFax sends PDFs and images, so the trick with Word is to save it as a PDF first. It takes a few seconds and keeps your layout exactly as you made it.

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.

Save Word as PDF

• Word on Windows: File, Save As (or Export), choose PDF.
• Word on Mac: File, Save As, File Format: PDF.
• Word on iPhone or Android: tap the ⋯ menu, Export or Save As, PDF.
• Word on the web: File, Download, Download as PDF.
• Google Docs: File, Download, PDF Document.

Then fax the PDF

1. Open fastfax.app and tap Upload documents.
2. Choose the PDF you just saved.
3. Type the fax number, check the preview, and send.

Tips for a readable fax

• Use a font size of 11 or larger. Small text can blur on older fax machines.
• Avoid light gray text and colored backgrounds; faxes are black and white.
• If the document needs a signature, sign the PDF (or print, sign and scan it with your phone).

Faxing several Word files at once

Save each file as a PDF, then add them one after another on FastFax. They're sent as one fax in the order shown, so put the cover letter or form first. You can remove a page with the × before sending.

What it costs

One page credit per page, from $2.97 for 3 pages to $19.99 for 1,000 pages (about 2¢ a page). No subscription, and if the fax fails the pages go back to your wallet.
