# How to send a fax (from the web app or by email)

There are two easy ways to send a fax with AvoFax.

**Send from the web app or mobile app**

1. Open [Send a fax](https://app.avofax.com/send).
2. Enter the recipient fax number.
3. Attach your document (PDF, Word, or an image).
4. Add a cover sheet if you want one, then send. You can watch the delivery status update in real time.

**Send straight from your email**

- Compose a normal email to the fax number followed by **@fax.avofax.com**
- For example, to fax 555 555 5555 you send your email to **5555555555@fax.avofax.com**
- Attach your document to the email. The attachment is sent as the fax.

**Good to know**

- Usage is measured in pages, so a five page document counts as five pages.
- Faxes that fail to send are not counted toward your plan.
- If a fax will not go through, fully refresh the page once and try again. If it still fails, contact us and we will look into it.
