Anfas.Pro vs other online passport photo tools
Several online tools generate passport photos. They differ in how many countries they cover, how the specifications are sourced, how the digital file is exported, and what happens if the photo is rejected.
Quick answer
Anfas.Pro covers more countries with verified sources, refunds rejections
Anfas.Pro covers 67 countries (218 document profiles) with source-linked specifications and a 14-day refund if rejected. Most online tools cover 30–50 countries with no source citations and no formal refund policy.

When each option makes sense
Anfas.Pro stands out on three things: country coverage, verified sources visible on every page, and the refund-if-rejected policy. None of these are unique on their own, but few tools combine all three.
If you need a photo for a common country (US, UK, Schengen), several online tools will produce an acceptable result. The differences become meaningful for less-common destinations (China, India, Russia, UAE, Saudi Arabia) where unverified specifications produce rejections.
We avoid naming specific competitors here because pricing, country coverage and policies change. Compare the live offering of any tool against this table before deciding.
Frequently asked questions
Why do online tools differ so much in country coverage?
Maintaining verified specifications for 60+ countries is expensive editorial work — every country's authority publishes their rules differently, in different languages, on different update cycles. Most online tools optimise for the top 10–20 destinations where they get the most traffic and leave the rest as "best effort" using generic photo standards.
How do I know if a tool's country specification is correct?
Look for two things: a source URL linking to the authority's own page, and a visible verification date. If a tool just lists "35 × 45 mm, white background" without a source link, that specification could be 5 years old or copied from another site. Our profile pages always show both.
Does Anfas.Pro work offline?
No — the photo processing happens in the cloud. Upload requires internet. The processed file then downloads to your device and can be used offline (printed, uploaded to a portal).
