What is Email to Fax?

Email to fax is an online service that lets you fax directly from your email using a local or toll-free fax number. When using email to fax, you can send faxes directly to someone else’s physical fax machine, and others can send faxes from their fax machines right to your email inbox. Best of all, the process works just like sending a normal email, making it a convenient and accessible alternative to traditional faxing.

With our intuitive email to fax service, you don’t need any special software or equipment to get started. You can send and receive documents from any desktop, laptop, mobile device, or tablet. MetroFax supports all email providers, such as Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo, to offer flexible and reliable faxing solutions for everyone.

Why Use an Email to Fax Platform?

What makes online fax services like MetroFax so beneficial for businesses?

Email to fax services provide a wide range of benefits to professionals that help them cut costs, improve productivity, and stay organized.

Efficient Communications

Using a traditional fax machine is slow and inefficient compared to online faxing solutions. When using a fax machine, you waste significant amounts of time waiting for your turn, feeding documents into the machine, and waiting for the machine to process each document.

Internet fax solutions eliminate these processes by allowing users to send faxes right from their computers or mobile devices. Simply sign in to your email account, choose your recipients, attach your fax, and you're good to go!

No matter your fax needs, MetroFax is the online faxing service you can rely on.

For a small monthly fee, MetroFax makes it easy to send faxes from any electronic device without ever needing to worry about maintenance or supplies costs. Cut faxing costs more than 50% with an online faxing service.

Send Faxes From Anywhere

Business doesn't just take place in the office. Small businesses need flexible faxing solutions that allow them to send and receive faxes online whether they're in or out of the office.

With internet faxing services, you can fax by email from your office desktop, personal mobile device, tablet, or any other internet-connected electronic device.

Eco-Friendly

As more and more businesses search for environmentally-friendly alternatives to common business technologies, many of them are ditching traditional fax machines in favor of online fax services that don't use plastic, paper, or excessive amounts of power.

Email-to-fax platforms make it easier for your small business to reduce its carbon footprint while improving the efficiency of your communications. No plastic, paper, or printing required.
