Faxend for Chrome: Send a Fax From Your Browser

Faxend for Chrome is a browser extension that sends a fax from Chrome, with no fax machine, printer or phone line. It opens a side panel next to the page you are on: type the fax number, attach a PDF or photo or fax the page itself, pay with Stripe, and watch the delivery status in the same panel.

What Faxend for Chrome does

The extension is a compact version of the Faxend web sender that lives in Chrome's side panel, so it stays open while you browse and while you pay in the Stripe tab.

Fax number check. Pick the country and type the number. The number is checked before you pay, so a typo is caught early.
Attach files. Click "Attach files" or drop PDF, JPG or PNG files into the panel (other image formats are converted). One fax can hold up to 10 documents, 20 MB and 100 pages.
Fax this page. Sends the web page you are viewing as letter-size fax pages. If the tab shows a PDF in Chrome's built-in viewer, the original PDF file is sent instead of a screenshot.
Cover note. Add an optional note of up to 800 characters. It becomes a cover page and counts as one page.
Right-click and shortcut. Right-click any page and choose "Fax this page with Faxend", or press Alt+Shift+F.
Delivery status. The panel shows sending, delivered or failed, and you also get an email when the fax is done. If the receiving machine is busy, does not answer or declines the fax, the pages go back to your plan so you can try again.

How to send a fax from Chrome in 3 steps

Add Faxend to Chrome

Install Faxend for Chrome from the Chrome Web Store and pin the Faxend icon to the toolbar so it is one click away.

Enter the number and add your pages

Click the icon to open the side panel. Enter the recipient's fax number, then attach your PDFs or photos, or click "Fax this page". Add a cover note if the recipient expects one.

Pay and send

The panel shows the page count and the price. Checkout opens in a new Stripe tab; the fax goes out as soon as the payment is confirmed, and the status appears in the panel. Already bought a plan on faxend.com? Choose "Bought a plan on faxend.com? Use it here" and the fax uses your remaining pages.

Faxend for Chrome faxing an open lease agreement web page with the Fax this page button — "Fax this page" turns the page in the current tab into fax pages. The page in this screenshot is a sample.

Gmail, Google Drive, web pages, PDFs and Chromebooks

A document you received in Gmail

Faxend does not send faxes by email. With Gmail open in Chrome, download the attachment (or save the email itself as a PDF with Print → Save as PDF) and drop the file into the Faxend panel next to your inbox. The full walkthrough, including how to keep the email header off the page, is in our Gmail fax guide.

A file in Google Drive

Download the file as a PDF (Google Docs, Sheets and Slides export to PDF from the File menu), then drop it into the panel without leaving Drive. See how to fax a file from Google Drive for format tips.

A web page or online form

Filled in an online form, opened a statement or reached a confirmation page that the recipient needs on paper? Click "Fax this page". Fixed headers are hidden during the capture and long pages are cut into letter-size pages.

A PDF open in a Chrome tab

When the tab shows a PDF in Chrome's own viewer, "Fax this page" sends that original file, so text stays sharp. PDFs inside another site's viewer (for example a Drive or Gmail preview) are captured as a web page; download them first for the cleanest result.

A Chromebook, Windows PC or Mac

Chromebooks have no built-in fax software, and extensions are the usual way to add tools there. Faxend for Chrome runs the same way on ChromeOS, Windows, Mac and Linux. For other ways to fax from a desktop, read how to fax from a computer.

What it costs

The extension uses the same plans as faxend.com. You pay only when you send a fax; the panel shows the price before checkout.

Plan	Price	What you get
Faxend Basic	$4.99 one-time	Up to 10 pages, valid 30 days. No subscription.
Faxend Standard	$9.99/month	50 pages a month plus your own US fax number to receive faxes.
Faxend Plus	$14.99/month	100 pages a month plus your own US fax number.

A cover note counts as one page. Faxes you receive on a Standard or Plus number arrive in your Faxend inbox on faxend.com, not in the extension.

Requirements

Google Chrome 116 or later on a computer or Chromebook. Extensions do not run in Chrome on phones; on a phone use the iPhone app or the Android app.
The recipient's fax number, including the country.
Your document as a PDF, JPG or PNG, or the page open in the current tab.
A payment method accepted by Stripe Checkout, unless you already have a Faxend plan with pages left.

Privacy and permissions

Pages you visit stay private. The extension does not read or track your browsing. It reads a page only when you ask it to fax that page, through the toolbar icon, the right-click menu or the shortcut.
What is sent to Faxend: the fax number, the documents you attach, your cover note and, only when you choose "Fax this page", the page image or the open PDF. They are used to deliver the fax and are not kept on our servers after sending.
What stays on your device: your unsent draft, your Faxend plan identifier and the status of recent faxes, in Chrome's extension storage. Uninstalling the extension removes them.
Payments: checkout happens on Stripe's website; the extension never sees your card details.

Details are in the Faxend for Chrome section of our privacy policy.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a Chrome extension for sending faxes?

Yes. Faxend for Chrome adds a side panel to Chrome where you enter a fax number, attach a PDF or photo or fax the page you are on, pay with Stripe and track delivery.

Can I fax a Gmail attachment from Chrome?

Yes. Download the attachment or save the email as a PDF, then drop the file into the Faxend panel. The fax is sent from the panel; Faxend does not turn outgoing emails into faxes.

Does Faxend for Chrome work on a Chromebook?

Yes. It needs Chrome 116 or later, which current Chromebooks run. Nothing else has to be installed.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Faxend Basic is $4.99 one-time for up to 10 pages, valid 30 days. Monthly plans are optional and add a fax number for receiving.

Can I receive faxes in the extension?

No. The extension sends faxes. With a Standard or Plus plan you get your own US fax number, and incoming faxes arrive in your Faxend inbox on faxend.com.

What happens if a fax fails?

The panel shows the fax as failed and you get an email. If the receiving machine was busy, did not answer or declined the fax, the pages go back to your plan so you can send it again.

How long does a fax take?

Usually a few minutes after payment, depending on the number of pages and the receiving line. The status in the panel changes to delivered when the receiving machine confirms the pages.
