Questions

Part of a URL or a whole URL?

Use “Part of a URL” for a single value, like a search term: it also encodes / ? & and =. Use “Whole URL” to keep a full link working.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The tool runs inside your browser, and the page is blocked from sending data anywhere. You can check by turning off your internet connection: it keeps working.
