How to Fax a PDF from iPhone 13: Step-by-Step

1. 1

   Download TigerFax

   Install TigerFax from the App Store on your iPhone 13. It's free to start — no credit card required.

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

2. 2

   Scan your PDF with iPhone 13

   Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPhone 13 about 12 inches above the PDF and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPhone 13's sensor-shift OIS on the wide camera reduces camera shake during document scanning. For best results, scan in a well-lit area and let the auto-capture trigger automatically.

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

3. 3

   Upload your PDF from iPhone 13

   Alternatively, tap the upload icon to import your PDF from Files, iCloud Drive, or any connected cloud storage. iOS 15 on iPhone 13 supports Quick Note and improved Shortcuts integration, so you can create a shortcut to open TigerFax and start a fax directly from your home screen.

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

4. 4

   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.
