Kevin Savetz, the website's founder, launched FaxZero in 2006. "It's great to see people using the site in so many ways," Savetz said. "And I think it's interesting to see which companies receive the most faxes."
"I think many internet patrons are encouraged to use FaxZero since it's free and easy," he said. "It's nice to see companies bolstering communications with clients that way."
FaxZero allows users to send five free faxes per day (each with a three-page maximum) to any location in the United States or Canada. Additionally, FaxZero offers a premium faxing option for $1.99, for which there is no daily limit and allows up to 25 pages per fax. A mobile version allows users to send faxes through their smart phones. There's also an international fax option starting from $2 allowing users to send faxes to more than 180 countries worldwide. There's even a directory that makes it easy to send a free fax to your Congressperson or Senator.
FaxZero accepts documents in DOC, PDF, and other formats. Users can create a cover page through the website, or add their own custom file. Faxes usually take five minutes or less to send completely.
"With more than two million faxes sent and received in 2014, internet faxing is just as popular and important as ever," Savetz said. "I'm happy to provide a service that's people find so useful."
