What is Fax-to-Email?

Fax-to-Email is a modern service that digitizes the process of faxing by integrating it with your email system. It effectively replaces the traditional, paper-based fax machine with a more efficient and convenient digital workflow.

The service operates in two ways:

1. Receiving Faxes: When someone sends a fax to your designated fax number, the service intercepts it, converts the document into a digital file (typically a PDF), and delivers it as an attachment directly to your email inbox.
2. Sending Faxes: To send a fax, you simply compose an email, attach the document you wish to send, and address it to the recipient's fax number in a special format (e.g., 12125551234@faxprovider.com). The service then converts your email and attachment into a standard fax format and delivers it to the recipient's physical fax machine.

Key benefits of Fax-to-Email include:

• Eliminates Hardware: It removes the need for a physical fax machine, dedicated phone line, paper, and toner.
• Digital Archiving: Creates an automatic digital record of all sent and received faxes, making them easy to store, search, and manage.
• Enhanced Mobility: Allows you to send and receive faxes securely from any device that has access to your email, whether you are in the office or on the go.
