Brazil eVisa photo for the online application
Brazil's official eVisa portal (operated by VFS) requires a colour photo of 3.5 x 4.5 cm - stated as 413 x 531 pixels - in JPEG or JPG format, at most 2 MB, against a white background: face centred, looking directly at the camera, no smiling or teeth showing, ears visible, shoulders inside the frame, no head coverings and no spectacles. This tool crops and sizes your photo to exactly 413 x 531 px on your device - nothing is uploaded.

All rules above come from the official Brazil eVisa portal's sample-photo guide (brazil.vfsevisa.com, checked November 2026) - VFS operates the official eVisa service for Brazil's Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The guide also warns against reusing or cropping the photo from your passport's bio page.
The portal's uploader frames the face inside a circle; the guide lines below approximate that framing. The authority reviewing your application makes the final decision.
How to do it
- Take a colour photo against a plain white background, facing the camera, ears visible.
- Keep a neutral expression - no smile, no teeth - and remove spectacles and any head covering.
- Upload below, frame head and shoulders between the guide lines, and create the file.
- Confirm the checklist, download the 413 x 531 px JPG, and upload it in your Brazil eVisa application.
