File extension .FAX

| Fax File (generic Group 3 1bit Encoded Data) | N/A | Raster Image Files |
The .FAX file extension is a type of document created with Microsoft Fax, which is a program used in Microsoft Windows operating systems for creating, sending, and receiving fax documents. This program is included in the Windows operating system by default and can be used to manage conventional paper-based fax machines.
A .FAX document is somewhat similar to image files as it captures a picture of a page’s content, although .FAX files are specifically designed to be sent or received over long distances via telephony networks. Its contents may vary slightly depending on the program used to create the file, but generally, the format stores black and white images alongside text and can store up to 1728x1728 pixels per inch.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FAX) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FAX extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FAX file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FAX extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FAX extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FAX file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FAX file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FAX file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FAX file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FAX file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
