Questions
Fast answers
Can I smile in a passport photo?
Check current agency guidance. A neutral expression with both eyes open is the safest source-photo target.
Does the tool detect expression?
No. It does not analyze faces; you review the source photo yourself.
Can it straighten a tilted face?
You can rotate the image in 90 degree steps, but you should retake photos with a direct camera angle.
