How to Send Your First Fax Online (First Page Free)
Updated October 10, 2026
Sending a fax with SendFax.me takes about a minute, and the first page of your first fax is free, no credit card required.
1. Create an account
Go to sendfax.me/signup and sign up with Google or your email address. There is no subscription and nothing to install.
2. Start a new fax
From your dashboard, click New fax. You can either:
- Upload a document — PDF, or common image formats. Multi-page PDFs are supported.
- Write one in the browser — use the built-in editor to type your fax from scratch, no document needed.
- Take a photo (on a phone) — tap Take a photo of a document under the upload box. The camera opens, and the photo is cleaned up for fax automatically.
3. Enter the destination number
Type the recipient's fax number including the country code (for example +1 for the US and Canada). SendFax.me delivers to 29 countries across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, Latin America and Africa. You'll see the exact per-page price for that country before anything is charged.
4. Review and send
You'll see a live preview, the page count, and the total cost. For a one-page first fax the cost shows $0.00; for a longer one, the first page is free and you pay only for the rest. Optional extras before sending:
- Add a cover page with a message for the recipient
- Fill & sign — draw your signature and place it on the document
- Schedule the fax for a later time
Hit send. You can watch delivery progress in real time, and you'll get an email confirmation with a transmission report once it's delivered.
What counts as the free page?
The first page of your first fax is free, to any supported country. A one-page fax goes out at standard quality for $0.00. A longer document sends too: the remaining pages are paid from credit (from $5) and the whole fax transmits in HD. If it fails to deliver for any reason, the free page is automatically returned so you can try again, and any paid pages are refunded.
Frequently asked questions
›Is the first page really free?
Yes. Every new account gets the first page of its first fax free, with no credit card required. Longer documents send too: the remaining pages are paid from credit, from $5. If the fax fails, the free page is returned automatically.
›Do I need a fax machine or phone line?
No. SendFax.me works entirely in your browser — the fax is transmitted over the regular fax network on our side, so the recipient's fax machine receives it like any other fax.
›How long does delivery take?
Most faxes are delivered within 1-5 minutes. Long documents or busy receiving lines can take a little longer; you can watch live status in your dashboard.
