Kafka can accept any type of data, you just pass a byte[] to the producer and get a byte[] back from the consumer. How you interpret it is entirely up to your application.
But it does have limits on message size (see the message.max.bytes and replica.fetch.max.bytes setting for brokers) and clients have limits as well (e.g., fetch.message.max.bytes in the consumer) and since Kafka is usually used with pretty small messages, the defaults may be too low for your application. Those are just the settings I can think of off the top of my head; there may be more, and you'll probably have to tweak some other settings to achieve the best performance.
