Does the image get uploaded to a server?

No. It is read and processed on a browser canvas, and no data leaves over the network.

The result looks stretched vertically.

Monospace characters are taller than they are wide. That ratio is corrected automatically, but wide line spacing where you paste it can stretch it again. Keep the line height near 1.0.

Which images work best?

Images with strong contrast and a simple background. For people, cropping tightly to the face reads much better.

“Add colour” is for the on-screen preview only. Copying the text or saving the PNG gives you a single colour.
