A Brazil visa (online, VFS Global) photo is 413 × 531 px on a white or off-white background, saved as a JPEG 10 KB – 300 KB. The head must measure 361 px (68% of the height) from chin to crown, which is the part most photo tools ignore — a photo can be exactly the right size and still be rejected for a head that fills too much or too little of the frame.
