The easiest way to have something faxed right now with no waiting is Fax.Live’s online fax services.

And, just like that, you’ll be able to send a fax for free today directly from your web browser. Fax.Live not only works from a computer but also phones, tablets, and other devices that have an internet connection.
Fax.Live’s free trial allows you to send faxes within the trial period to try out our service. Your fax recipient won’t notice any difference on their end — the faxes will go through normally as if you used a real fax machine.
Why do we ask you to set up an account and connect a payment method? We won’t charge you until your trial period has passed. We ask you to set up an account to ensure legitimate uses of our service. We use only trusted third-party payment processing apps, including PayPal and Stripe, to handle our customers’ sensitive payment information.
Locations to Fax Using a Fax Machine
Need to use a physical fax machine? You still have options for finding a fax machine near you so you can fax today. Here are some of the best, easiest ways that we’ve found to fax a document near you:
- Office Supply Stores
- Look for an office supply store that has printing services — these services allow you to use their self-service printer and fax machines for smaller jobs, such as printing or faxing a few documents. They are not free, however; for fees, you’ll need to contact your local store.
- Banks and Credit Unions
- Some financial institutions that you use will have low-cost fax services available to their customers.
- Libraries
- Are you a member of your local library? These often have low-cost fax self-service if you need to fax documents near you today.
- Shipping Stores
- Shipping stores like UPS or FedEx will sometimes have printers and fax machines available for use for a fee. This may require employee assistance and varies from store to store.
If you need to print and sign your document first, for example, you’ll need to make sure the fax machine has a scanner built into it so that you can scan the document and directly fax it (versus using a USB storage device, for example).
Keep in mind that if you want to do everything from home, many smartphones have a scanner app that you can use to scan documents with your phone camera. You can save the document as a PDF on your device, then head over to Fax.Live to fax the document, all from your phone!
Relatedly, Where Can I Receive a Fax?
We’ve covered sending a fax near you today, but Fax.Live’s account services also let you receive faxes from your web browser.
When setting up an account for sending your fax, you’ll have the option to obtain a fax number that you can use to receive faxes through the Fax.Live portal. When you do this, we’ll give you a dedicated fax number that will be tied to your Fax.Live account. Simply give this number to the organization or individual that you want to send you a fax.
Incoming faxes will appear in your Fax.Live inbox, similar to an email. You’ll be able to open the fax, see what number sent it, and then download the document. You can set up your account to receive free faxes today to get started receiving faxes without a fax machine.
