A fax service
that stays out of your way.
Some offices, clinics and administrations will only accept a fax. CaptainFax lets you answer them from a browser, with no machine, no phone line and no subscription.

What we set out to do
Our aim is for faxing to be as routine as sending an e-mail. Upload a file, pick a country, enter the number and confirm. We convert the document when needed, call the recipient’s landline and keep you posted until the call finishes. A single page costs nothing; anything longer is a flat €3.99, VAT included.
Free where it makes sense
Most faxes are a single page: a signed form, an order, a prescription. We decided those should cost nothing and carry no quota, so nobody has to think twice before sending.
When a document runs to two pages or more, one flat price applies, whether it is a short contract or a forty-page file. There is no advertising on your faxes and no account to maintain.
Why we built it
CaptainFax is published by Dim Solution, a small company based in France that builds web services. The idea came from a recurring situation around us: someone has a letter ready, a counterpart asks for a fax, and nobody in the room owns the equipment anymore.
Existing offers often demanded an account, a monthly plan or a pile of settings for a single sheet of paper. We preferred a short form, one confirmation e-mail and a page that tells you plainly where your fax stands. We keep refining it from the messages you send us.
What we stand by
Three commitments that shape the product.
Documents are kept to a minimum
Your file travels over an encrypted connection and is used for one purpose: delivering this fax. We do not read it, resell it or mine it.
Honest status, honest price
You see the cost before paying and the state of your fax while it moves. If you want written proof, optional receipts are billed only when delivery succeeds.
Seven countries, one way to do it
The same form serves Canada, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal and France. Select the country, enter the local number, and the dialling format is our job.
