Single-page faxes through CaptainFax cost nothing, as many times over as you need. Once a document reaches two pages, one flat €3.99 VAT included covers the send, however long the document is. This counter reads the page count of your PDF in your browser and displays the exact price before you commit.

Price a send

One PDF file, up to 100 MB.

The file is opened on your device and never uploaded.

How the price is set

There are just two price tiers. A single page costs nothing, in unlimited numbers. Beyond that, a document costs €3.99, French VAT at 20% included, no matter if it has two pages or forty. The card payment goes through Stripe at submission, so it happens ahead of the confirmation email.

The count is simply how many pages the attached PDF has. This tool works the way our servers do: rather than guessing, it reads the file’s page structure, including in modern compressed PDFs. The figure on screen is the one that determines your price. All of it runs in your browser, so you can check a contract, a referral or a pay stub while it stays on your computer. Besides PDFs, the sending form takes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OpenDocument, images and plain text; those bypass this counter, and their pages are counted once they’re converted to PDF at send time.

There is also the optional receipt pack at €2.99: a request receipt plus a transmission receipt, both PDFs and useful as a dated record. You’re billed only if the fax is delivered. If a document spills just over one page, printing to PDF with “fit to page” may squeeze it back onto one sheet. Bear in mind that Letter and A4 sheets are slightly different sizes, so a tight layout may reflow.

Pricing FAQ

Does the counter upload my PDF to CaptainFax?
No. Your browser opens the file on your own device to count the pages, and nothing is sent anywhere. It leaves your device only when you attach it to the fax form afterward.
Does the price change by country?
No. Every one of the seven destinations is priced identically: free for a single page, €3.99 for two or more, with nothing added for distance or call duration.
What if the fax isn’t delivered?
Multi-page sends are charged before transmission. If the fax doesn’t go through, contact us via the contact page with your send reference and the whole amount is refunded to your card. Receipts are never billed for a fax that wasn’t delivered.
