Shotfax is a web service for sending individual faxes without an account or subscription. It supports destinations in more than 55 countries across North America and Europe, but not other regions. Upload a PDF, JPG, or PNG file up to 10 MB; JPG and PNG files are converted to black-and-white PDFs. The listed Single fax price is 2.99 USD per once, covering up to 20 pages, while the Pay per send plan is 2.99 USD per month with no subscription and the same page and file limits. Transmission uses Telnyx and usually takes about a minute. An optional email receipt includes a timestamp and page count. Failed sends are retried up to three times and refunded if they never connect. Uploaded files are deleted after delivery or the final failed attempt, while job records remain 90 days. Shotfax is send-only, has no mobile apps or receiving number, and is not designed for bulk faxing.
Who it is for
Shotfax suits someone who needs to send an occasional fax from a web browser to supported North American or European destinations. It is not intended for receiving, bulk faxing, or protected health information because no Business Associate Agreement is provided.
