About
UPSC’s new portal asks for an uploaded photo and also takes a live photo, which is face-matched against the upload. The signature upload is unusual: the same signature three times, one under another, in a single image.
Worked example: sign three times on one plain white sheet, photograph it, and drop it in the signature box. The tool crops it to a 450 × 500 px frame — inside the 350–500 px rule both ways, even from a tall portrait photo — and keeps the highest quality under 100 KB. For the photo, zoom in until your face fills at least three quarters of the frame.
