How to Send an Email to Fax

The first step is to Create your free Faxburner account.

It’s a quick, simple process. Fill out the form to include your:

  1. Full Name
  2. Email address (you'll use this email address to send/receive faxes)
  3. Password

Use something you can remember because you'll need these details later to access the service. We recommend using a strong password to ensure the security of your account.

As soon as you log in, you can request your own fax number. It's worth noting that your fax number is only valid for 24 hours on a free account. A premium plan, however, offers a permanent fax number, allowing you to send fax to email in greater volume each month.
