Does the Post Office (USPS) do passport photos?

Yes, at many Post Offices that take passport applications. USPS lists the photo at $15.00, on top of its $35.00 acceptance fee when you apply there. You can book a photo-only appointment: printed photos for a renewal by mail, or a digital photo on a USB drive for an online renewal (USPS: Passports).

The State Department rules are the same wherever the photo is taken: 2×2 inches, a plain white or off-white background, taken in the last 6 months, no glasses, and no filters or edits (travel.state.gov: Passport photos).
