You are limited to uploading a single file with a maximum size of 1 megabyte (MB), and the name of that file cannot contain any double-byte characters (such as those used in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean languages) or special characters (such as “,, /,:, ; *,?,, >, |, #).
Supported file types are .jpg, .png, .gif, and .svg.
