A FAX file, short for facsimile, refers to a digital document that has been transmitted over a telephone line using fax technology. The term "fax" originates from the word "facsimile," which means an exact copy or reproduction. FAX files are commonly used for sending scanned documents, images, or text from one fax machine to another. In the digital age, FAX files are often sent and received through fax servers or online fax services, converting the document into a format suitable for transmission over the internet.

FAX files are typically encoded in a standardized format, such as TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) or PDF (Portable Document Format). These formats ensure that the document's content and layout remain unchanged during transmission and reception. FAX technology has been widely used in businesses, offices, and other organizations, allowing for quick and convenient document sharing without the need for physical delivery. While traditional fax machines are still in use, the advent of internet-based faxing has made the process more accessible and environmentally friendly, as it eliminates the need for paper-based communication.

Despite its widespread usage in the past, the reliance on FAX files has diminished with the rise of more sophisticated and secure digital communication methods, such as email and encrypted messaging platforms. However, in certain industries and regions, FAX files continue to be preferred for their perceived security and legal recognition. As technology continues to evolve, the use of FAX files is likely to further decline, making way for more efficient and advanced means of document exchange and collaboration.
