Fast answers
Can I wear glasses in a U.S. passport photo?
Current U.S. passport guidance says to remove glasses and hats for the photo, except limited documented cases.
Can the tool remove glare from glasses?
No. Retake the photo without glasses rather than editing glare or reflections.
Can I crop an old photo with glasses?
You can crop it, but it may not meet current photo guidance. A new photo without glasses is safer.
