Overview

YouCam Glare Remover takes glare and reflections out of a photo. It is aimed at shine on eyeglass lenses, harsh sun glare in outdoor shots, and reflections on shiny surfaces like product packaging. The page opens Perfect Corp's Object Removal brush. You paint over the bright spot, size the brush for tight areas, and the tool fills it from the surrounding image.

It runs in a browser on desktop or phone, and Perfect Corp also ships YouCam apps for iOS and Android. Signing in gives 3 free uses a day, and free downloads carry a YouCam watermark. Perfect Corp sells Plus and Pro subscriptions, and credits you can buy as you go. Only the Pro plan allows commercial use.

When to use

Use YouCam Glare Remover if:

  • You have an outdoor shot spoiled by sun glare or a bright hotspot on a face or surface.
  • You have a product photo with a reflection on shiny packaging or glass.
  • You want to paint the exact area yourself rather than hand the photo to full automation.
  • You already pay for YouCam, since the same credits cover its online tools.

When NOT to use

Skip YouCam Glare Remover if any of these describe you:

  • You need a file with no watermark. Free downloads from the YouCam Online Editor carry a YouCam watermark on the image.
  • Glare on glasses is your main job. Clearing lens shine here is manual brushing, and it does not come out easily. Where the glare has washed the eyes out, there is nothing left to restore. RemoveGlassesGlare works on eyeglass lenses automatically.
  • You have more than a few photos to fix. The editor gives 3 free uses a day, so a bigger job means a subscription or bought credits.
  • You are doing a full face and skin retouch. A photo retouching tool handles more of the face in one pass.
