Is this really redacted?

Yes. The tool draws your effect directly onto the pixels and re-encodes a new PNG. The redacted pixels are gone from the output — unlike PDFs with black rectangles drawn over selectable text, there is no underlying content to recover.

Does my image upload anywhere?

No. Everything runs client-side using the browser Canvas API. Your screenshot never leaves your device.

What about EXIF metadata?

Stripped automatically. The export is a brand-new PNG rendered by canvas, so camera model, timestamps, and GPS data are not carried over.
