What format is the compressed file?

Always JPEG, regardless of the original format — JPEG compresses far better than PNG for photos, which is what makes hitting a target size possible.

Will it always hit my exact target size?

It gets as close as possible by trying quality settings between 5% and 95% — if even the lowest quality can't fit, it returns the smallest result it could produce.

Does this tool upload my photo anywhere?

No — compression happens locally on an HTML canvas in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
