Send a fax in four steps.

The person you are faxing gets an ordinary fax. You see the price before you pay, and an email receipt when it arrives.

  1. 1

    Upload your document

    A PDF, JPG, PNG or GIF up to 25 MB, or a photo of a paper page. Several files become one fax. Save a Word file as PDF first.

  2. 2

    Enter the fax number

    Any fax number in the US or Canada, or in one of 14 other countries. Your saved contacts can fill it in.

  3. 3

    Add a cover page if you want one

    Who it is to, who it is from, a subject and a short message. The cover page counts as one page of the fax.

  4. 4

    Check the price and send

    The page count and the price show before you pay: $2.99 for 1–5 pages. An email receipt follows when the fax is delivered.

Busy line or no answer? We try again automatically, up to 30 times over about 24 hours (3 times for an international number).

How moving a number works

Ready for HIPAA, with a free BAA you sign online.

HelpMeFax signs a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement at no charge on every account, including pay-as-you-go. You sign it on screen and we countersign it, usually within one business day.

In transit
TLS 1.2 or newer on every connection.
At rest
AES-256 encryption for every stored document.
Received faxes
Kept in your encrypted inbox. The email alert carries a link, never the fax itself.
Retention
Deleted automatically after 365 days, or by you as soon as the fax has finished.
Audit trail
Every transmission is logged. Business accounts also see who opened or downloaded each received fax.
The BAA
Free on every plan. It covers the faxes you send and the faxes received on a HelpMeFax number.

One account for the whole office.

Everyone signs in as themselves. The faxes, the inbox and one prepaid balance are shared, one BAA covers everyone, and there is no per-user fee.

Frequently asked questions.

No. HelpMeFax sends and receives faxes online, from a phone, tablet or computer. Upload your document and enter the recipient's fax number, and it arrives as an ordinary fax on any fax machine in the US or Canada.
Add one to any account for $11.99 a month plus $0.05 per page received, with no subscription. The Professional plan includes one number and Enterprise includes five. Sign up, open your Inbox, select "Add fax number" and choose a local US or Canadian area code or a toll-free number (833, 844, 855, 866, 877, 888). Cancel anytime.
Usually, yes. HelpMeFax moves (ports) existing US and Canadian fax numbers, local or toll-free, and moving one is free. The first month is charged when you sign the transfer letter online and refunded if the number cannot be moved. Most numbers move within one to two weeks, and your current service keeps receiving faxes until the move is done.
You get an email the moment a fax arrives, with a secure link; the PDF stays encrypted in your HelpMeFax inbox, not in your mailbox. From the inbox you can view, download or delete it. There is no reply button: a reply is a new fax you send the usual way. Received pages cost $0.05 each, deducted from your account credit.
Yes. We use TLS 1.2+ encryption for all data in transit and AES-256 encryption for documents at rest, and every transmission is logged. Documents are stored encrypted for 365 days on every plan, then deleted automatically, and you can delete one yourself as soon as the fax has finished. HelpMeFax is HIPAA compliant, and a free HIPAA Business Associate Agreement is signed online and countersigned by HelpMeFax.
PDF, JPG, PNG and GIF up to 25 MB. Attach several at once and they are combined into a single fax in the order you added them. For a Word document, use File then Save As in Word and choose PDF. That keeps your formatting exactly as you laid it out.
Sending: One flat price per fax: $2.99 for 1–5 pages, $4.99 for 6–10, $8.99 for 11–25, $14.99 for 26–50, $24.99 for 51–100, then $0.15 per page (never less than $24.99). No subscription. Pay by card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) only when you send.

Receiving: A dedicated number is $11.99 per month plus $0.05 per page received, on any account, or bundled with our Professional (1 number) and Enterprise (5 numbers) plans. Optional prepaid account credit (with bonuses on larger packages) is used automatically before your card is charged. Subscription plans add 10–30% discounts on sending.
Busy or unreachable lines are retried automatically up to 30 times over about 24 hours (3 attempts for international). If it still fails, the failure email lets you request a refund review; refunds are net of card-processing and attempt costs. Faxes rejected by the receiving machine or sent to a non-fax number are not refundable.
Yes, with a business account. Each person gets their own login, and the business shares one fax history, one inbox and one prepaid balance, with one free HIPAA BAA covering everyone. There is no per-user fee and no limit on how many people you add. We review every business application by hand.
Yes. There is no contract. Cancel from your account settings at any time, and you keep your plan's benefits until the end of the period you have paid for.
