Will compressing to 500KB ruin my image quality?

The tool always finds the highest quality that fits under 500KB. Photos with lots of detail may soften slightly at aggressive targets, but the result stays as sharp as the size limit allows.

Is my photo uploaded to a server?

No. Compression happens entirely in your browser, so the image never leaves your device. That also makes it faster than upload-based tools.
