You want to send a fax but do not have a fax machine? With FaxMonkey you can fax directly from your computer - whether Windows PC, Mac, or Linux machine. Completely in your browser, no software installation.

Whether you need to send a cancellation to your insurance company, forward a signed contract to your attorney, or fax a form to an authority - with FaxMonkey you can do it in just a few minutes right from your desk.

Why fax from your computer instead of using a fax machine?

Traditional fax machines are expensive to purchase and maintain. On top of that come ongoing costs for paper, toner, and a separate telephone 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
  • Telephone 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's 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

Operation is equally intuitive on all systems. Just open faxmonkey.com and get started - no software installation, no registration.

Drag & drop: faxing 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 on "Select file" and choose your document via the standard file dialog. Both ways lead to the same result.

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