7ID: Kenyan Passport Photo Background Editor

Instantly Crop Your Photo to Kenyan Passport Photo Size

A standard Kenyan passport photo size is 2×2.5 inches or 51×64 mm. After applying online for your Kenyan passport on the eCitizen website, you'll need to submit the 2×2.5 inch photos. The photo you upload during your online registration should be 207×207 pixels.

In addition to the dimensions, the positioning of the face in the photo is also important. The head height should be about 72% of the photo height, with the top edge making up about 8% of the photo height.

With the 7ID app, you can easily resize your photos to meet these specifications or any other country's passport photo specifications. In addition, the 7ID Passport Photo Editor can adjust the head size and eye line positioning.

Replace the Background with a Plain White

The background color for a Kenyan passport picture must be white and with 7ID, this can be achieved effortlessly. By simply uploading your photo and sliding to the left, the background will change to white.

We recommend taking the original photo against a plain background for best results. If your photo has a different background, our professional service can change it too.

Get a Digital Photo for E-Citizen Application

A digital passport photo from the 7ID app can be used directly for your application on the eCitizen website. You would not need a printed version for your online Kenyan passport application, a digital file is sufficient.

Get a Template for Printing

In addition to the digital file, 7ID also provides a free photo template for printing on 4×6 inch (10×15 cm) photo paper. Each print will give you four photos suitable for your passport application.
