Why use TIFF for fax instead of PDF?

Fax machines and many fax gateways require TIFF format with G4 compression. This is the international standard (ITU-T T.6) for fax transmission and ensures compatibility with all receiving devices.

What resolution is used?

The output uses standard fax fine resolution of 204x196 DPI, which is the most widely supported resolution for fax machines worldwide. Higher resolutions increase transmission time.

Can I fax color documents?

Standard fax transmission is monochrome (black and white). The tool automatically converts color and grayscale content to high-contrast monochrome optimized for text legibility.
