What can Kaleidoscope export?

Kaleidoscope exports PNG / JPEG / Video. Available dimensions and motion options follow the tool's Web capabilities.

Does SHADR upload my image?

Is this the same tool as SHADR for iOS?

The core tool, parameters, presets, and rendering logic are shared. On iOS, Live Photo export is available; the Web version uses the fallback described above.
