UPSC Civil Services has notably more generous file size limits than SSC or Railway exams — up to 200KB for the photo and 100KB for the signature — but it's stricter on quality requirements: a plain white background, the face filling roughly 75% of the frame, and absolutely no spectacles in recent cycles. Some UPSC forms also ask for three signatures on one sheet rather than one. Because the size ceiling is higher, you can afford a slightly higher-quality (less compressed) image than SSC applicants — use the KB slider to stay comfortably under the limit rather than right at the minimum.
