What the official pages say about the Brazil e-Visa photo

Brazil's eVisa portal, run by VFS Global for Brazil, is open only to citizens of the United States, Canada and Australia, for tourism or business. The tourist eVisa allows several entries over 10 years for US citizens, 5 for others, and stays of up to 90 days a year; the Federal Police handle longer stays. The fee is $80.90, the same for a child, and no fee is refunded. After submission, consular posts may take up to 10 business days, so the portal advises against buying tickets first.

You upload a recent colour photo and a colour copy of your passport's data page, and the portal says the passport "must be valid for at least 1 month before arrival". The photo specification asks for 3.5 × 4.5 cm, 413 × 531 pixels, on white, as a JPEG of up to 2 MB. Look into the lens with your shoulders showing, hair tied back and both ears clear. Glasses, head coverings and smiles are not allowed, and the photo must not be cut from the passport page. A minor's application may also need a birth certificate and a notarised letter of consent from both parents.
