Why fax from a computer instead of a fax machine?

Traditional fax machines are expensive to purchase and maintain. There are also ongoing costs for paper, toner and a separate phone line. With FaxMonkey's online fax you save:

  • Purchase costs - No fax machine for 100-500€ needed
  • Maintenance costs - No paper jams, no toner changes
  • Phone line - No second line for the fax machine
  • Space - No bulky device on your desk

Instead, you only pay for what you actually fax, transparent and without a subscription.

Windows, Mac or Linux - what is the difference?

None. FaxMonkey works identically on all operating systems because it runs entirely in the browser:

  • Windows 10/11: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera
  • macOS: Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge
  • Linux: Chrome, Firefox, Chromium
  • Chrome OS: Chrome browser

The operation is equally intuitive on all systems. Simply open faxmonkey.com and get started, no software installation, no registration.

Drag and drop: sending a fax from your PC is this fast

Uploading your documents is very simple:

  • Open faxmonkey.com in your browser
  • Drag your file from the desktop or a folder directly into the browser window
  • The document is uploaded and converted automatically

Alternatively, you can click "Select file" and choose your document via the classic file dialog. Both methods lead to the same result.

Supported formats: PDF, JPG, PNG, TIFF, Word (DOC/DOCX). For the best fax quality we recommend PDF files.
