There is indeed no change in the president's official functions/capacity until he is convicted by the Senate and removed from office (which is done in one and the same vote).

A president can continue governing even after he or she has been impeached by the House of Representatives. After then-President Bill Clinton was impeached on Dec. 19, 1998, he remained president for another year, during which time he was acquitted in a Senate impeachment trial. While Clinton continued governing, and the impeachment had no legal or official impact, his legacy is marred by the proceeding.

The Senate can also bar him from running again for presidency, but that's a separate vote, which is optionally held only after conviction/removal.

However, the impeachment proceedings do give justification to the House to subpoena a lot of people close to the president. That can be at least an inconvenience (for him) if not outright trouble if more embarrassing material comes to light.

---

Also, this is not a 100% obvious question. In some parts of the world, a president can be suspended while under impeachment/investigation. I remember reading this about Romania's impeachment of their president in 2012, where their parliament suspended their president. Over there they need[ed] a referendum to actually remove him from office... and their president at the time survived the latter.
