Dedicated number · PDFs to your inbox

Receive Faxes Online. PDFs to your inbox, not paper to your machine.

Get a dedicated US fax number — local area code or toll-free 800 — and every fax sent to it arrives in your email as a PDF. Plus a searchable archive in your HelpMeFax dashboard. No machine, no phone line, no paper jams at 2am.

How online fax receiving works

Same fax. Different destination.

When someone sends a fax to your dedicated HelpMeFax number, the fax transmission lands on our infrastructure — not a machine in your office. We capture every page, convert the transmission to a PDF, deliver it to your inbox, and archive it in your dashboard. To the sender, nothing changes — they fax a number, it goes through. To you, faxes become email.

What you get

A fax number that lives in your email.

Dedicated US number

Local area code or toll-free 800/833/844/855/866/877/888. Yours alone — not shared.

Email delivery with PDF attached

Every inbound fax hits your inbox seconds after the transmission completes.

Searchable dashboard archive

Full history of every fax received, downloadable as PDF, filterable by sender and date.

Team forwarding

Multiple team members get the inbound notification — no shared mailbox, no risk of missing a fax.

HIPAA-safe handling

PDFs encrypted at rest with AES-256. Configurable retention to match your policy.

No paper, no jams, no toner

The machine is gone. So is its tray, its phone line, and its 2am paper jam.
