Email to Fax: Send a Fax From Your Inbox

No fax machine? Your email works as one. Send your document to send@faxburner.com with the recipient’s fax number in the subject line, and FaxBurner delivers it as a fax. No phone line, no app, free to start.

How to Send a Fax From Email

1. Sign up with the address you’ll send from – Create a free FaxBurner account using the email you plan to fax from. FaxBurner uses that address to match each fax to your account.
2. Address the email – Send it to send@faxburner.com with the recipient’s fax number, area code included, in the subject line.
3. Attach your document and send – PDF gives the cleanest result. FaxBurner converts it, delivers it, and emails you a confirmation.

What the Recipient Gets

Your attachment arrives as a standard fax. Anything you type in the email body becomes the cover page, so use it to say who the fax is for, who it’s from and how many pages to expect. Want a formatted cover sheet instead? Grab one of our free fax cover sheet templates. The recipient sees your fax, not your email address.

Works With the Email You Already Use

Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, iCloud Mail or any other provider, on your computer or your phone. Step-by-step guides: how to fax from Gmail and how to fax from Outlook.

The FaxBurner app is iPhone only, so email is how you fax from an Android phone.

Receive Faxes in Your Inbox Too

Your FaxBurner fax number forwards every incoming fax to your email as a PDF, so sending and receiving both happen where you already work. See how receiving works.
