[Send a fax](https://app.faxforagents.com/send?src=site-send-a-fax) No account to set up. No subscription.

Up to 5 pages to the United States and Canada. Each extra page is $0.49, up to 20 pages. Price as of 2026-11-12.

1. 1 **Upload your document**
2. 2 **Pay $2.49 by card**
3. 3 **Confirm by email** We send the fax and mail you the receipt.

## How it works

1. Step 1. Upload the document. Upload a PDF, a PNG, JPG or TIFF image, or paste plain text. One document of up to 20 pages and 10 MB. Type the fax number and your name for the cover sheet.
2. Step 2. Pay by card. Pay on Stripe. The price is $2.49 for up to 5 pages and $0.49 for each page after that. Your card is authorized and nothing is charged yet.
3. Step 3. Confirm by email and get the receipt. Click Confirm and send in the mail you get. That click proves your address and sends the fax. The card is charged when the carrier confirms delivery, and the receipt arrives by mail.

## Why people trust it

- You pay only for a delivered fax. A failed fax costs nothing. If only some pages arrive, you pay for those pages.
- Your card details stay with Stripe. You pay on Stripe's page. We never see your card number.
- A receipt you can show. It carries the carrier's delivery report: the time, the pages and a reference.

## What you pay

One fax by card to the United States and Canada, rate table `launch-v3`, prices as of 2026-11-12. The cover sheet is included and is not counted.

| Your document | Price | How it adds up |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 1 to 5 pages | $2.49 | the flat price |
| 12 pages | $5.92 | $2.49 and 7 pages at $0.49 |
| 20 pages, the most one order takes | $9.84 | $2.49 and 15 pages at $0.49 |

A fax that fails is not charged. A fax that stops part way is charged for the pages the carrier confirmed, by the same table. If the carrier never reports a result, we release the card 48 hours after the fax went out and nothing is charged. That is at most 99 hours after you paid. If our release is late or fails, the card network ends the authorization by itself, at the latest 7 days after you paid. The [refunds page](https://faxforagents.com/refunds/) has the rule for each outcome.

More than 20 pages, a number outside the United States and Canada, or sending from code: the prepaid wallet on the [pricing page](https://faxforagents.com/pricing/) covers those.

For developers and AI agents: the same one fax can be ordered by API or from an MCP client. A person still pays by card, at a link the API returns. The [one-time send API page](https://faxforagents.com/docs/one-time-send/) has the calls.

## What you can send

- One document of up to 20 pages and 10 MB: a PDF, a PNG, JPG or TIFF image, or plain text.
- Fax numbers in the United States and Canada. Other countries are not sold one fax at a time.
- Your name and your email address are printed on the cover sheet, so the recipient knows who sent the fax.
- No advertising and no protected health information. This is not a HIPAA service, and you accept the [acceptable use policy](https://faxforagents.com/acceptable-use/) before you pay.
- Sending only. A one-time order has no fax number of its own and receives nothing.
- Daily limits per email address, per card and per destination number keep the service from being used for junk faxes.

## What the receipt proves

The receipt mail shows what the carrier reported: the provider reference, the pages confirmed and the completion time. It also shows the amount charged to your card and the hash of the document that was sent.

The word delivered is written only next to that evidence.

delivered, evidence attached

A sample receipt. 3 pages for $2.49, price as of 2026-11-12. The name, the number and the reference are made up.

It means the receiving machine confirmed the pages. It does not mean a person read them, so ask the recipient when a deadline depends on it. The fax, its evidence and the receipt stay in the dashboard created for your email address. The order's status page and the receipt mail also give the receipt as a one-page PDF, with no sign-in. The links in a mail work for 7 days. After that, sign in to open the receipt.

The send form has a box named "Delete my document when the fax ends". With it the file, its page images and the copy that was sent are deleted when the fax ends delivered, partial or failed. If the carrier never reports, they are deleted after the card is released. Without the box the document is kept 30 days by default and you can delete it sooner. A fax the carrier never reports on keeps its document until the report arrives or you delete it.

## Who sends a fax this way

Anyone with a browser and a card. A signed lease, a contract, a form for a bank or a government office, a letter to an office that still takes faxes. One fax a day or one a year, the price is the same.

You do not install anything and you do not rent a fax number. The fax goes out from our sender number through a telephone carrier, and the record of what the carrier reported comes back to you.

## Questions about sending one fax

### Can I send a fax online without an account?

Yes. The page asks for the document, the fax number, your name and your email address. You pay by card on Stripe and confirm the send from your inbox. An account is opened for that email address when you check the price, so the receipt and the evidence have a place to stay. If you never pay, it is closed again when the unpaid order expires. You can sign in later with a link sent by mail. If you are already signed in, there is no confirmation mail and the fax goes out once the card is authorized. Nothing recurs and there is no subscription.

### Is this a free fax service?

No. One fax costs $2.49 for up to 5 pages to the United States and Canada, as of 2026-11-12. The price pays for the carrier, the card fee and the receipt. A failed fax costs nothing, because the card is charged only when the carrier confirms delivery. The sandbox for developers is free, but it reaches no real fax number. This page is also not the prepaid wallet for software and AI agents. The fax API page covers that.

### How do I know the fax arrived?

The receipt shows what the carrier reported: the provider reference, the pages confirmed and the completion time. The word delivered appears only next to that evidence. It means the receiving machine confirmed the pages. It does not mean a person read them. If the carrier never reports a result, the fax ends unknown and the card is not charged.

### What does the recipient see?

A cover sheet, then your pages. The cover sheet names the recipient's number, your name, your email address, our sender number, the date and the page count. You can add a subject and a short message. A footer line says the fax was sent through Fax for Agents and where to report an unwanted fax. The cover sheet is included in the price and is not counted as a page.

### What happens if I do not click the confirmation link?

The fax is not sent and the card is not charged. The link in the mail works once and for 48 hours. After that the order expires, the card authorization is released and the uploaded document is deleted. A mail tells you so. You can ask for the confirmation mail again from the status page while the order is still open.
