1. iFax – Editor’s choice

iFax remains one of the stalwarts of free fax apps for iPhone. The app was developed in 2008 and has since served people to send over 20 million faxes worldwide. One of the major advantages of using iFax is that it doesn’t require you to create an account. Moreover, its usage complies with HIPAA regulations, making it an extremely safe option. This level of privacy also extends to the faxing of digital documents, as the app uses a 256-bit SSL end-to-end encryption system. Additionally, the app allows you to fax in bulk numbers, with multiple numbers worldwide. Since the app integrates with the cloud, you can send multiple images and PDFs from cloud storage facilities such as iCloud, Google Drive, and Dropbox. Price: Free (In-app purchases start at $0.99)

The integrated scanner effortlessly scans documents of top-tier quality. Moreover, you can send your fax to any number worldwide without losing out on the document quality.

4. Easy FAX – Convenient to use

Not all fax apps for iPhone are easy to use. Some of them are loaded with features but use a clunky UI, which makes the app counterintuitive. Thankfully, you won’t face any such issues with Easy FAX. Not only is the app’s UI quite simplistic and elegant, but it also provides you with tools such as automatic corner and perspective correction and color enhancement. You could also use the app to accurately track your fax’s status. Apart from this, it does the fundamentals well enough. The app can be connected to your social media handles for easier sharing. Moreover, it supports AirPrint for printing faxes that you’ve received through your iPhone. The only major issue with the app is the subscription services. Multiple users have stated that using the app’s premium version creates multiple issues with services and subscription cancellation. Price: Free (In-app purchases start at $7.99)

5. FAX for iPhone – Powerful tools

While plenty of free fax apps for iPhone provide tools for enhancing your document quality, they pale in comparison to this app. It has multiple image correction tools to help you turn your blurry scan into a crisp and clear document. Moreover, other editing tools for corner and perspective correction are also provided. The scanned document can also be edited further digitally through the app’s powerful tools to ensure that any and all mistakes in the original document don’t transfer to the scanned image. Overall, while the fax app is quite basic, its tools are excellent, especially if you’re a beginner using such an app for the first time. My only gripe with the app is that the in-app purchases are far too expensive. Price: Free (In-app purchases start at $5.99)

6. Zap Fax – Worldwide networking

Few apps for faxing from iPhone provide connections and faxing services to multiple nations worldwide. At the most, you can send faxes to around 20 different countries from them. However, Zap Fax has networked itself to over 80 international countries to send faxes. Moreover, you can receive faxes from over 20 countries as well. This level of networking is the app’s biggest draw. You can also scan and save your images as PDF files for easier storage. The app also includes a QR code reader for scanning QR codes and storing the information. Zap Fax also allows you to change your faxing number unlimited times, in addition to Burner Phone numbers for faxing. Lastly, the app can get the latest updates on your fax’s status. However, one major con of the app is its user interface. The developers should make the interface a bit more intuitive. Price: Free (In-app purchases start at $4.99)

7. FAX – Simple Fax App – Free with premium features

If you don’t want to pay for the exorbitant in-app purchases on supposedly ‘free’ fax apps for iPhone, you should use this app. The app is completely free, with no in-app purchases whatsoever. In other words, what you see in the app is exactly what you get. No additional features are hidden behind paywalls. Moreover, although free, it has plenty of features that other fax apps require you to pay for. For example, the app has networking for a huge number of countries. So, you can send faxes from your country to another without needing an extra payment. You can also preview and edit your documents before sending them over. There aren’t any limits to the number of faxes you can send, either! Unfortunately, since the app is free, you’ll have to deal with plenty of ads while using the app. At worst, this is annoying, but it allows you to use the app’s features to their advantage. Price: Free

8. MetroFax – Unlimited cloud storage

Although some free fax apps for iPhone provide cloud storage for storing your documents, they tend to exercise a certain limit for document upload. With MetroFax, you don’t have to worry about this. MetroFax allows you to store, upload, download, and send as many documents as possible, thanks to the unlimited cloud storage facility. Additionally, it also supports AirPrint, which allows you to print your required faxes with the help of your iPhone. Apart from this, the app offers certain personalization options, such as adding your cover page and editing the documents during the preview.

9. FAX.PLUS – Loaded with features

FAX.PLUS is an excellent fax app for iPhone, thanks to the myriad of features that it provides. Moreover, all the content you send will be encrypted and compliant with HIPAA regulations. Apart from this, the app also features a programmable fax API to change the app’s functioning based on your needs. You can also organize your faxes through notes which can be added to your received and sent faxes. In case of multiple faxes, you can add up to five different email addresses as well! There are a few customization features with the app. While they’re not highly advanced, these tools are good enough for basic use, with automatic border detection, color correction, and perspective correctness. Additionally, the app supports multiple document types, such as PDF, JPEG, and even TIFF. However, the app isn’t very easy to use. It has a bit of a learning curve that might take the user some time to get used to. Price: Free (In-app purchases start at $4.99)

10. eFax – Excellent customer service

How many times has it happened that you’ve used a free fax app for iPhone and have faced issues with the app? When sending faxes from iPhone, the app’s customer service must help navigate certain issues. Few such fax apps tend to provide reliable customer service, and eFax is one of them. Apart from their exceptional customer service, the app is pretty amazing. It has networked with over 50 countries for sending faxes, allowing you to send faxes to people or organizations in major countries. Moreover, you can resend failed faxes without having to scan the documents again and create professional cover pages for your fax through the app itself. The app also provides detailed tracking records of your sent apps, with notifications sent at each step. You can also easily send an unlimited number of faxes, thanks to the 128-bit AES encryption that the app uses. So, your privacy isn’t curtailed either. Unfortunately, the app requires a VERY stable internet connection to work properly. Price: Free (In-app purchases start at $2.99)

11. Genius Fax – Highly affordable

Apps for faxing from iPhone tend to have subscription models. Sometimes, you even have to purchase fax credits through the app to send your faxes. When you’re starting a business, these apps can be quite expensive. However, Genius Fax is here to help with some fantastic features and affordable pricing. As a fax app for iPhone, it provides the basic functionalities. You can receive or send faxes across countries, add a cover page to your faxes, scan a new document or send PDF files. Apart from this, it has an elegant user interface that delights the app. However, the app’s real draw is the pricing for faxes. You can subscribe to the app for as little as $3.49 a month. Moreover, buying fax credits in bulk leads to the price per fax credit dropping to $0.39. This is relatively affordable compared to the rest of the competitor apps. The app’s customer service isn’t the best, though. Quite a few users have complained about this issue. Price: Free (In-app purchases start at $0.99)

Plenty of features Reasonably priced in-app purchases Sleek user interface

Customer service isn’t up to par
