Snap2Pass never edits your face. It replaces the background and crops the photo to size, nothing else.
Also worth knowing
- Online applicationIt must be a new photo of you
The photo must not be a scan or photo of another photo of you, must not be the photo in your passport or identity card, and must not be a picture of the identity document itself.
Source ↗ - Who takes the photoA phone photo is fine, ideally taken by someone else
The visa photo can be taken on a phone or tablet. UK Visas and Immigration advises you to arrange for another person to take it, to reduce the chance of it being rejected.
Source ↗ - Who takes the photoAt an appointment your face is captured again
If you attend a biometric enrolment appointment, a new live image of your face is captured there. If you use the UK Immigration: ID Check app instead, you submit a photo yourself, and another person should help you take it.

Passport photos have their own GOV.UK rules, with their own concessions for babies, and the application goes to HM Passport Office.
