Fax cover sheet generator
Fill in the blanks, download one PDF, and put it in front of your document.
Updated on:
A cover sheet is the first page of a fax. It tells whoever collects the printout who it is from, who it is for, what it concerns and how many pages to expect, so it ends up on the right desk instead of lying in the output tray. This CaptainFax tool produces one as a PDF in seconds. It is free and needs no account.

Cover sheet FAQ
- Is a cover sheet compulsory?
- No, nothing obliges you to include one. But offices that receive plenty of faxes rely on it to pass the pages to the right person, and a document with no cover sheet is more likely to be misrouted or set aside.
- Should the cover sheet be included in the page count?
- Yes. State the number of sheets that are actually transmitted, this one included. The recipient can then compare it with what came out of the machine.
- Does the tool keep what I type?
- No. The PDF is generated for you on request and nothing is saved on our side. The tool does not send any e-mail either.
- How do I join the cover sheet to my document?
- Join the two in a single PDF, cover sheet first, and upload the result on the CaptainFax home page. Be aware that a fax of two pages or longer costs €3.99 VAT included, whereas a single page is free.
