What Is Fax.Plus and What Does It Let You Do?

Fax.Plus is an online fax service for sending and receiving faxes from a computer, phone, or email rather than a physical fax machine. It is aimed at individuals, small and medium businesses, and enterprises, and the site highlights HIPAA-compliant faxing alongside options for local or toll-free numbers, cover sheets, and a programmable fax API. You can use it through a browser, desktop and mobile apps, or integrations with tools you already use.

What you can do with Fax.Plus

The service covers the full basic fax workflow: sending, receiving, and managing faxes without dedicated hardware.

• Send and receive faxes online from a web browser, desktop app, Android app, or iOS app.
• Get a fax number — choose a local or toll-free number instead of relying on an existing phone line.
• Fax from email — send and receive faxes through your email account.
• Print to fax — send a fax from any application's print menu.
• Add cover sheets to personalize outgoing faxes.
• Sign before sending — eSignature integration lets you sign documents before faxing them.
• Automate and integrate — a fax API, plus Google, Microsoft, Slack, and Zapier integrations, connects faxing to existing workflows.
• Extract text and data — AI-powered fax features can pull text and data from faxes.

Who it is built for

Fax.Plus positions itself as suitable for companies of all sizes, with specific industry pages for healthcare, education, legal services, financial services, IT companies, and real estate. The healthcare angle centers on safeguarding patient confidentiality through HIPAA-compliant faxing; other industries emphasize secure document handling and administrative efficiency.

For organizations with regulatory requirements, the site also lists compliance offerings, security features (data encryption and protection), and data residency options that let you choose where data resides. Enterprise solutions are described as customizable to meet regulatory requirements.

How you access it

What to check before choosing it

The site advertises a premium service with a separate pricing page, so plan details and costs should be confirmed there rather than assumed. If your main need is occasional personal faxing, the free or entry options — if any — are not described in the material reviewed here; check the pricing page directly. If you need compliance guarantees, confirm that the specific regulation you must meet (for example, HIPAA) is covered by the plan you select, and ask about data residency if location matters. For teams, the API and integration options are the main reason to pick Fax.Plus over a simple email-to-fax tool.
