How to Fax from iPad: Step-by-Step

   Create your account

   Open TigerFax and sign in with your Apple ID or create a free account with your email. No credit card required.

   Scan your document or upload a file

   Tap the camera icon to scan your document directly with your iPad's camera, or tap the upload icon to import a PDF, JPG, or PNG from Files, Photos, or iCloud Drive.
