How to Fax a PDF from iPhone 12: Step-by-Step

1. 1

   Download TigerFax

   Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPhone 12. It's free to start — no credit card required.

   💡 Tip: TigerFax is optimized for iOS 14+ and works on all iPhones running iOS 15 or later.

2. 2

   Scan your PDF with iPhone 12

   Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPhone 12 about 12 inches above the PDF and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPhone 12's Night mode can help when scanning documents in low-light environments. If the auto-capture doesn't trigger, tap the shutter button manually after positioning the document.

   💡 Tip: Your PDF may have multiple pages — TigerFax lets you scan each page in sequence before sending.

3. 3

   Upload your PDF from iPhone 12

   Alternatively, tap the upload icon to import your PDF from Files, iCloud Drive, or any connected cloud storage. iOS 14 on iPhone 12 introduced App Library and improved widget support. You can add a TigerFax widget to your home screen for quick access to your fax history.

   💡 Tip: PDF format preserves PDF formatting best. If you have a digital copy, upload it instead of scanning for the clearest result.

   Enter the recipient's fax number

   Type the recipient's fax number in the To field. For international numbers, include the country code. TigerFax automatically formats the number.

5. 5

   Review and send

   Preview your PDF to verify all pages are included and legible. Tap Send. You'll receive a delivery confirmation when the fax is received.
