Brazilian Passport Photo: requirements and cropper
A brazilian passport photo is 50 × 70 mm — about 1.97 × 2.76 inches. That is not the 35 × 45 mm size most countries use, so a generic "passport photo" crop will be the wrong shape. The background must be not published for applicant-supplied photos.
You may not need to prepare a photo at all. This page exists mainly to save people a trip: if you are 5 or older, the Polícia Federal captures your photo at the appointment and you do not need to prepare one at all. The 5 × 7 cm print requirement applies only to children under 5. Photos of a child are rejected if the face is partly covered by accessories or ornaments, or if enough time has passed that the photo no longer identifies the child.
Crop a photo to the Brazil spec
Drag the two markers. Put the blue one on the very top of the head — including hair — and the red one on the bottom of the chin. Every measurement below is calculated from that, because official specs measure the head crown to chin, not the face.

How to make one
- Take or choose a photo shot straight on, from about arm's length or further, in even light with no shadow falling on the face or the wall behind it. Phone selfies taken close up distort the face and are a common rejection reason.
- Stand far enough from the wall that you cast no shadow on it. The background needs to be not published for applicant-supplied photos — the tool fills only the area outside your photo's edges, it does not replace the wall behind you.
- Drop the photo into the tool above. Nothing is uploaded; the file is read directly by your browser.
- Drag the blue marker to the very top of the head, including hair, and the red marker to the bottom of the chin. This is the measurement every official spec is written against.
- Download the photo, or generate a print sheet if you need physical copies.
Why Brazil photos get rejected
Drawn from the official guidance rather than guesswork. Most rejections are not about dimensions at all:
- A child's face partly covered by accessories or ornaments
- Photo too old to still resemble the child
- A non-newborn photographed with closed eyes
Brazil photo questions
Is my photo uploaded anywhere?
No. The cropping, resizing and compressing all happen inside this page, using your browser's own image APIs. There is no server to upload to — the site is static files. Open your browser's network tab, use the tool, and you can watch nothing leave.
It also keeps working with your Wi-Fi switched off once the page has loaded.
What size is a brazilian passport photo?
50 × 70 mm (1.97 × 2.76 in), according to Polícia Federal — Passaporte, documentação: fotografia 5x7.
Can this tool change my background?
No, and that is deliberate. Background replacement means guessing where your hair ends, and the guess is visible — a halo or a chewed-up fringe is exactly the kind of artefact that gets a photo rejected as digitally altered. Brazil requires not published for applicant-supplied photos, so photograph yourself against a matching wall.
The fill colour setting only paints the area outside your photo's edges when the required crop is larger than the image you supplied.
Do the rules differ for babies and children?
Applicants aged 5 and over do not need to bring a photo — it is captured biometrically at the appointment. Only children under 5, including newborns, must bring a recent 5 × 7 cm photo. A photo with closed eyes is accepted only exceptionally, for newborns.
Do I even need to bring a photo?
Often not. This page exists mainly to save people a trip: if you are 5 or older, the Polícia Federal captures your photo at the appointment and you do not need to prepare one at all. The 5 × 7 cm print requirement applies only to children under 5. Photos of a child are rejected if the face is partly covered by accessories or ornaments, or if enough time has passed that the photo no longer identifies the child.
Will a photo from this tool definitely be accepted?
Nobody can promise that, and any site that does is selling you certainty it does not have. A photo is judged on framing, background, lighting, expression, sharpness and how recent it is. This tool handles the geometry and the file size precisely; the rest is down to how the photo was taken.
