Printing photos: practical guidance
Practical guidance: official requirements do not specify a photo shop, convenience store, or home printer. For a consular application, reproduce the dimensions for the relevant post accurately.
Consular (VIVIS) route
Submit a physical printed photo. Use the exact dimensions listed above for the post handling your application; do not substitute another post's size.
eVisa route
Upload the image through the VFS Brazil eVisa portal. Printing is not needed for this route.
How to prepare a consular print
Confirm the consulate or post handling your application and select its dimensions from the list above.
Choose a photo-printing shop, convenience store, or home printer. Official guidance does not specify which printing method to use.
Print at actual size (100%) and turn off auto-fit or scale-to-paper options so the selected dimensions do not change.
After printing, measure the photo with a ruler and carefully cut it from the sheet. Do not assume the sheet frame is the final photo size.
Size and composition
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.
Take your photo with a plain white background, even lighting, and a natural appearance from the start. This app mainly helps with composition checking, size adjustment, background whitening, pre-save preview, and file export. Do not alter your facial shape, skin, hair, or clothing.

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?

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.
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.
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.
