Step by Step: How to Fax from iPhone Without an App
Open Safari on your iPhone
Open Safari and navigate to faxforadollar.com. The site is fully optimized for iPhone — no pinching, zooming, or sideways scrolling. Works identically in Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or any mobile browser on iPhone.
Tap the upload area
Tap the purple upload box. Your iPhone will immediately give you options for where to get the file — Files, Photo Library, or iCloud Drive.
📎 iPhone tip: If you need to send a PDF, tap Files when prompted — this lets you access PDFs saved in iCloud Drive, your Downloads folder, the Mail app, or any other app. If faxing a photo of a signed document or form, tap Photo Library.
Select your document or photo
Choose the file you want to fax. FaxForADollar accepts PDF, Word documents (.doc and .docx), JPG, PNG, HEIC (iPhone native photo format), GIF, BMP, WEBP, and TIFF. Photos count as 1 page regardless of file size. You can upload up to 10 files and they are all combined into one fax.
Enter the fax number
Type the recipient's fax number including the area code. For US and Canada numbers, enter all 10 digits. The site formats the number automatically. Double-check the number before proceeding — a wrong digit means the fax goes to the wrong machine.
Enter your email address
Type your email address. You receive a confirmation email once the fax is successfully delivered with a reference ID number you can keep as proof of transmission.
Pay and send
The price is shown based on your page count — $1.00 for up to 10 pages, $1.99 for 11-25 pages. Tap the purple button to proceed to checkout. Apple Pay works in Safari on iPhone — pay with one tap using Face ID or Touch ID. You can also use any credit or debit card. Your fax is sent immediately after payment.
Check your email for confirmation
Within 1 to 3 minutes you receive a confirmation email with your delivery reference ID. Save this email as proof that your fax was delivered successfully.

Why Not Use a Fax App on iPhone?
Most iPhone fax apps in the App Store require you to create an account, enter payment details, and subscribe to a monthly plan — typically $5 to $20 per month. A quick look at the top fax apps shows monthly fees regardless of how many faxes you send. If you only need to fax medical records to a new doctor, send documents to the IRS, or submit a legal form once or twice a year, you are paying $60 to $240 annually for something you barely use.
FaxForADollar charges just $1.00 for up to 10 pages — no app, no account, no subscription. Open Safari, upload, pay, done. Your fax is sent and your document is deleted from servers immediately after transmission.
