Three ways to upload from Android

Camera, gallery, or file manager — use whichever is most convenient.

Take a photo

Use your Android camera to photograph a paper document. usfax.com automatically enhances the image for fax quality. Hold your phone steady, use good lighting, and frame the document within the viewfinder.

Choose from gallery

Select an existing photo or screenshot from your Android gallery. This is perfect if you have already captured a document or received an image you need to fax.

Select from file manager

Browse your device storage, Google Drive, or other cloud storage to select a PDF or document. PDFs produce the best fax quality and are the recommended format.

Tips for faxing from Android

Use PDF format for the sharpest fax output — convert documents in Google Docs before uploading if needed.
When photographing a document, place it on a dark surface for better contrast and edge detection.
Add usfax.com to your Home Screen for quick access: tap the three-dot menu in Chrome, then Add to Home Screen.
Samsung Galaxy users can use the built-in document scanner in the Camera app for better quality than a regular photo.
