FAX files are digital representations of faxed documents, typically containing scanned images of the original paper fax. They are used to send and receive faxes electronically, preserving the exact layout and content of the transmitted document. The format mimics traditional fax machines, which revolutionized communication by allowing near-instant document transmission over phone lines starting in the 1960s.
Fax files typically use CCITT Group 3 or Group 4 compression standards, designed specifically for efficient transmission of monochrome images over telephone lines. These compression methods reduce file size without significant loss of quality, essential for rapid fax transfer. The format supports single-page or multi-page documents, often stored as multi-page TIFF files, enabling easy integration with fax software and hardware.
FAX files are often saved in formats such as TIFF or specialized fax image formats that support monochrome images to reduce file size. Although fax machines have declined with the rise of email, faxing remains popular in industries like healthcare and legal services for secure document transmission. Interestingly, many modern multifunction printers still include fax capabilities alongside scanning and printing.
