How to Fax a Photo from iPad Air: Step-by-Step

1. 1

   Download TigerFax

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

   💡 Tip: TigerFax is optimized for iPadOS 17+ and works on all iPads running iOS 15 or later.

2. 2

   Scan your Photo with iPad Air

   Open TigerFax and tap the camera icon. Position your iPad Air about 12 inches above the Photo and let the auto-capture detect the edges. The iPad Air's 12MP rear camera produces clear document scans. For best results, use the landscape orientation and ensure the document is flat and well-lit.

3. 3

   Upload your Photo from iPad Air

   Alternatively, tap the upload icon to import your Photo from Files, iCloud Drive, or any connected cloud storage. The iPad Air supports Split View, allowing you to open Files or Mail alongside TigerFax. Drag documents directly from Files into TigerFax to add them to your fax.

   💡 Tip: PDF format preserves Photo 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 Photo to verify all pages are included and legible — the iPad Air's large display makes this easy. Tap Send. You'll receive a delivery confirmation when the fax is received.
