It did not actually free any slaves. It gave Union troops a licence to liberate any slaves they found on their Southern campaigns.

That was a big factor in eventual Union victory - which had the effect of freeing all the slaves by the end of 1865.
What did the proclamation decree?
It proclaimed in a grandiose fashion that Southern slaves would be 'thenceforward and forever free' - just when Lincoln's government carried no authority in the Southern states. However, it was the beginning of total war, as it gave Union troops the right to rob the enemy of his property - which included slaves. Those slaves followed the armies back to their camps, and were given jobs there. The obvious conclusion was that if the North won the war, those slaves could never be returned to their one-time owners.
