Our image converter tool can quickly convert your FAX to JPEG while maintaining the highest level of quality and can accept up to 20 files at one time using our batch image file processor. When your JPEG image files are ready, you can either download them individually or, for convenience, combine them within a ZIP file.
Or drag and drop your files here to upload.
A maximum of 20 files can be uploaded at once.
Once you've selected your FAX files for upload, our image converter tool will provide you with the option to customize the processing of your images. To configure this, once you have selected an image, you will see a button, which you can click to reveal a set of image conversion options. These options include the ability to resize and rotate your image and to apply a grayscale or negative filter to your FAX.
Here are two simple steps to convert your FAX to JPEG using our fast and free FAX converter tool.
First, click the "Upload..." button and select your FAX file to upload. Your FAX file will be uploaded to our servers. When the FAX to JPEG conversion has completed, you can download your JPEG file right away.
We aim to process all FAX to JPEG conversions as quickly as possible; this usually takes around 5 seconds; however, this can be longer for certain files, so please be patient.
We aim to provide the best conversion experience. Our tools are under constant review and development, with new features being added every week.
If you are converting your FAX file to a format that implements lossy compression, then yes, the quality will be reduced; however, the loss in quality is usually not noticeable and can result in much smaller file sizes.
No. When converting your FAX file, our tool will not perform any resizing of your image, and the resulting file will have the same resolution as your uploaded FAX file.

The FAX file format rose to prominence during the 1990s with the rise in popularity of the fax machine as a means of transmitting documents over a wired connection.
The format is simply a wrapper format for the existing file formats, TIFF and PDF. Building on the existing available formats meant the process of building the hardware and software for fax machines was simplified and ensured compatibility across the different brands of fax machines.
With the advent of email, fax machines quickly lost favor, and with it, the FAX file format has rapidly lost support in most image editing applications.

A JPEG file is a compressed and highly efficient image file format whose aim is to store photographic-quality images using a fraction of the storage space compared to other lossy and non-lossy image compression methods available at the time.
The compression used by JPEG encoders is "lossy", meaning image colors that are not perceptible to the human eye are discarded during the compression process. The removal of this color data greatly reduces the size of the final JPEG file with no discernible loss in quality.
Due to their compact and high-quality format, JPEG files are one of the primary image formats used by websites, digital and phone/tablet cameras, and more. This widespread support means JPEG files can be edited within most popular image editing software.
Our FAX imaging tool will accurately convert your FAX file into a JPEG image file using our high-quality internal 2D rendering to create your final JPEG ready for download. Your FAX file will be analyzed pixel by pixel in order to produce the most accurate conversion possible.
