Photo Guide

Photo checklist

Even a slightly non-compliant photo can be rejected during your application. Check these points before saving.

  • Use the size specified by your application route (413 × 531 px for the eVisa) with only the applicant in frame.
  • Use a clear, recently taken photo. Face the camera directly with a natural expression.
  • Plain white background with no shadows.
  • Both eyes open and clearly visible. Glasses are not allowed or not recommended for the eVisa — remove them if in doubt. Keep hair away from the eyes.
  • No face-altering effects, AI modifications, or cropped passport photos. Keep your natural appearance.

Size and composition

These specifications come from the Brazil requirement registry (verified facts only). Keep the face centered with the top of the head and chin in frame, and include the shoulders. Consulate sizes vary by post — always confirm your consulate's instructions.

FAQ

What are the Brazil eVisa photo requirements?

The eVisa requires a 413 × 531 px photo in JPEG / JPG format with a White background, up to 2 MB. Face the camera directly with eyes open, keep the top of your head and chin in frame, and include your shoulders. Always confirm the latest requirements on the official portal (brazil.vfsevisa.com).

Does the app support embassy or consulate visa applications?

Yes. In addition to the VFS Brazil eVisa, the app includes photo presets for embassy/consulate applications (12 verified posts plus other common sizes). Consulate photo sizes vary by post, so choose the size specified in your consulate's instructions.

How do I create the passport bio page image?

Simply photograph your passport bio page or import it from your photo library. Check that all four corners are visible and the MRZ (machine-readable zone) is readable. The app outputs a Color JPEG / JPG image up to 2 MB.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. All photo processing, face detection, background whitening, and image export happen entirely on your iPhone. Only App Store billing uses the network, and it never includes your photo data.

Can I wear glasses?

For the eVisa route, glasses are not allowed or not recommended. Please remove glasses before taking the photo. For the latest requirements, including consulate routes, follow the instructions from your application office.

Can I crop my photo from my passport?

No. Reusing a cropped passport photo is not accepted. Take a fresh photo with a plain white background and follow the on-screen guide.

Does this app submit my application?

No. This app is a file preparation tool only. You must submit your application yourself on the official portal (brazil.vfsevisa.com for eVisa) or through the Brazilian embassy/consulate handling your application.

Does this app guarantee my photo will be accepted?

No. This app helps you create files based on published requirements, but final acceptance is determined by the application office. Requirements may change, so always check the latest official guidance before submitting.

What are common rejection reasons?

Common reasons include wrong size for the route, background not white, glasses reflections, shadows, an old photo, or incorrect face proportions. This app detects and warns about these issues.

What about children's visa photos?

The same requirements apply to children: white background, facing forward, eyes open, no glasses. For infants, lay the child on a white sheet and photograph from above, or use a car seat with a white cloth draped over it.

How recent should the Brazil visa photo be?

The official VFS Brazil eVisa portal and consular guidance ask for a recent photograph, but the official sources used for this guide do not specify a number of months. Follow any current instruction from the portal or the consulate handling your application. Some private websites say “within six months,” but that is not an official Brazil photo requirement in these sources.

Can I print the photo at home or at a convenience store?

Yes, as a practical option, you may use a photo-printing shop, convenience store, or home printer if the relevant consular post's dimensions are reproduced accurately. Official guidance does not prescribe a printing method. Check the printed photo with a ruler and cut it carefully. For eVisa, upload the image instead, so printing is not needed.
