Why format your signature for CSE / IFoS (IAS, IPS, IFS)?
The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) strictly mandates that all uploaded signatures must be between 20KB and 200KB for the 2026 CSE / IFoS (IAS, IPS, IFS) application.

Common CSE / IFoS (IAS, IPS, IFS) Signature Upload Errors
"File size exceeds 200KB"
The UPSC portal blocks uploads above 200KB. Our compressor automatically reduces to 20–200KB.
"Signature not in black ink"
Many applicants sign in blue or pencil. UPSC explicitly requires black ink on plain white paper.
"Signature scanned on lined/ruled paper"
Use blank white paper. Notebook lines in the scan are a common rejection reason across government exam portals.
