Drop your photo, get a JPEG at exactly 413×531 pixels under 2 MB — the brazil.vfsevisa.com upload format for the US / Canada / Australia eVisa. Runs in your browser; the photo never leaves your device.
Brazil's official eVisa portal (brazil.vfsevisa.com, operated by VFS Global for the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs) publishes its photo rules in its own guideline PDFs: a coloured photo with a white background sized 3.5 × 4.5 cm (413 × 531 pixels), file format JPEG or JPG, maximum size up to 2 MB. This page presets exactly that: drop your photo and PixFit centre-crops it to 413×531 and hands back a JPEG the form accepts. At these dimensions the 2 MB cap never comes into play — the output lands around 20–40 KB at maximum quality — so the pixel size is the part that actually matters, and it's the part most photos get wrong.
The Brazil eVisa applies to citizens of the United States, Canada and Australia — the portal states it is available exclusively to holders of those three passports — and the requirement has been in force since April 10, 2025. The application is filled in online, the fee (US$80.90) is paid by card, and the portal notes consular posts may take up to 10 business days to process a submitted application, so don't leave it to the airport. Approval arrives by email as a PDF eVisa. As reported at the time of writing, the visa is multiple-entry and valid 10 years for US citizens and 5 years for Canadians and Australians — check the confirmation the portal gives you, which always wins over this page.
The official sample-photo sheet is specific about content: look directly at the camera lens, shoulders visible and inside the frame, ears unobstructed, hair tied back, space above the head with head and chin not cropped, no head coverings, no spectacles, no smiling or showing teeth, and “proper attire”. PixFit fixes the pixel size and the file format; it cannot check any of that — if your source photo has a grey wall, tinted glasses or a grin, fix the photo, not the file.
US applicants are used to 2×2-inch square passport photos, and even careful walkthroughs label this upload a “2 x 2 Photograph” before quoting the real numbers. The actual spec is a 35:45 portrait, not a square. If you feed PixFit a square 2×2 scan, the centre-crop to 413×531 will shave the sides — usually fine for a correctly composed passport photo, but check the preview: ears and shoulders must survive the crop. A phone photo (3:4) is already close to the right shape and crops gently.
Resizer sites garble this spec in every direction: one sells the file cap as “up to 300 KB” (the portal's own PDF says 2 MB), another invents a “maximum 1200×1600 pixels” that appears nowhere official, and a visa service quotes “431×531” — a typo of 413 that would fail a strict check. The numbers on this page come from the portal's own published guideline documents; if the upload screen in front of you says something different, the portal wins.
The photo is not the only file. The application also wants a colour copy of your passport bio page — photographed flat, no glare and no fingers over the page, with the MRZ (the two machine-readable lines at the bottom) fully visible — and your flight itinerary as the travel document. Your passport must be valid for at least one month beyond arrival — that is the portal's stated line, not the six-month rule many countries use, though longer is obviously safer. The “additional documents” step can be left blank for a straightforward tourist application.
Searching “Brazil eVisa” surfaces a crowd of agency sites with official-looking names and domains that will file the same form for a markup on the US$80.90 fee. The only official application site is brazil.vfsevisa.com — type the address rather than clicking an ad. Second: a visa photo travels with your passport scan and itinerary, so it shouldn't detour through a resizer's server — PixFit re-encodes entirely in your browser, nothing is uploaded, and the re-encode strips EXIF metadata (including GPS) as a side effect.
