How to Send an International Fax Online (Step-by-Step Guide)
Need to send a fax to another country but don't have a fax machine? Good news: you can send an international fax online in just a few minutes — from your computer or phone — without any account, subscription, or special equipment.
This guide explains exactly how to do it, step by step.
What You Need Before You Start
You only need three things to send an international fax online: the document you want to fax (as a PDF, Word file, or image), the recipient's fax number including the country code, and a payment method (credit or debit card).
Step-by-Step: How to Send an International Fax Online
Prepare your document
Save the file you want to fax as a PDF, Word document (.docx), JPG, or PNG. PDF is best for clean, crisp results. Make sure it's under 10MB.
Go to OverseasFax.com
Visit overseasfax.com on any device — phone, tablet, or computer. No download or app needed.
Upload your document
Click the upload zone and choose your file, or drag and drop it. The site accepts PDF, Word, JPG, and PNG files.
Select the destination country
Choose from the dropdown — the price is shown instantly. Tier 1 countries (UK, Australia, Germany, France, Japan and more) cost $2.99 per fax. Other regions start at $3.99.
Enter the fax number
The country code is filled in automatically. Just type the local fax number without the leading zero. For example, a UK number starting with 020 would be entered as 2079XXXXXX.
Enter your email and pay
Type your email address to receive a delivery confirmation. Then click Pay and you'll be taken to a secure Stripe checkout page. Enter your card details there — it takes under a minute.
Done — wait for the confirmation email
Your fax is sent automatically right after payment. You'll receive an email confirmation when it's delivered. Most faxes arrive within 5 to 15 minutes.
Tips for a Successful International Fax
Always double-check the country code. For example, the UK is +44, Australia is +61, Germany is +49. If you're unsure, the country dropdown handles this automatically.
Use PDF format when possible. It gives the clearest, most reliable fax output.
Make sure the recipient's fax machine is turned on and has paper. If the fax fails because the recipient's machine was off or busy, this is outside of our control, but we'll do everything we can to retry delivery.
