Where these numbers come from
2026 notices: photo 20–200 KB; signature (signed three times on one sheet) 20–100 KB with both sides between 350 and 500 px. The photo has no prescribed pixel size; 400×500 is within every rule UPSC has used. The photo-ID size (800×500) is an ExamSnap default, not a UPSC requirement. UPSC also captures a live photo that must match the uploaded one.
