How to Fax from Your Computer 

If you need to send a fax from your computer, you have a few options. Depending on the nature of the document you need to send, it’s likely going to be a very easy process that will take no more than a few minutes. And if you only need to send one or two faxes, you can even do it for free. Here’s how it works.

Free online faxing?

If you need a basic free online fax service to send one document, and if you don’t have to fax on a regular basis, then just do a simple Google search for “free online fax,” and you’ll find a few reliable options. There are a few sites that will send free faxes for you if you allow them to place an ad on the cover page, but this may damage the professionalism of the document.

You can also try paid online services. Many offer free 30-day trial periods for new users, and you can take advantage of this. Obviously, however, if you wish to use the same fax service after the 30-day trial period, you won’t be able to do it for free.

Cheap online faxing

If you need to send faxes on a regular basis, then you’ll probably want to invest in a basic online fax service. Most of these services are surprisingly cheap; for under $10 a month, you can generally get all the faxing features that you need, including more monthly pages than you’ll probably ever use.

Signing up for and using these services is easy. The hard part is choosing the right one for you. Fortunately, there are at least five or six paid online fax services that are very reliable and make faxing through your computer easy. eFax, Nextiva, and Metrofax are just a few examples of good services that can help you with all your faxing needs.
