Kenya passport photo size & rules
Kenya uses the 35x45mm photo format for passports and many visa procedures, equal to 413x531 pixels at 300 dpi. Kenyan e-passports are captured at Immigration Department enrolment centres, but printed 35x45mm photos on a white background are widely required for supporting documents and consular procedures, and the Kenya eVisa (eTA) system requires a separate digital passport-style portrait uploaded online. The face should be centred and clearly shown, with the head measuring roughly 32-36mm from chin to crown.
The background must be plain white and uniform, evenly lit with no shadow behind the head. Face the camera directly with a neutral expression and mouth closed, both eyes open and clearly visible, and the whole face uncovered from forehead to chin. Glasses are best removed to avoid glare, and hats or head coverings are not permitted except for religious reasons with the full face visible. For the Kenya eTA, the uploaded photo must meet the system's file-format and size rules, and a clear, recent, front-facing image is essential to avoid rejection. The photo must reflect your current appearance.
Pixohub formats your Kenyan passport or eVisa photo to 413x531 pixels on a white background directly in your browser, so nothing is uploaded and your image stays private on your own device, and the tool is free. Requirements from the Directorate of Immigration Services and the eTA portal are updated over time and can differ between printed and online submissions. Always confirm the current official specifications on the relevant Kenyan government website before printing or uploading your photo.
