Runs in your browser. Your files are not uploaded.
Large videos can run out of memory on phones.
Changing the picture uses your browser's own video encoders. Recent Chrome and Edge can write H.264, VP9 and AV1; Firefox and older Safari lack some encoders, so the tools offer only what your browser can produce and say so when something is missing.
Need only the soundtrack? Extract audio with the audio tools.
How to use Add text to video

Type the text and set the font size, style and colours.
Pick a position, or drag the text on the frame.
Set when it shows with Show from and Show until, or leave them empty for the whole video.
Select Add text, then download the result.
Questions

The picture is encoded again with the overlay drawn on every frame it shows on, which loses a little quality. The sound is copied as it is. Your browser has to be able to encode video; a recent Chrome or Edge is the safest choice.
No. Everything runs in your browser on your own device, and the video is never uploaded.
