Private by design
Most online PDF tools upload your file to their servers. Raccoon doesn't. Medical forms, contracts, payslips and IDs stay on your device from start to finish.
No sign-up, no ads and no cookies. We only count visits anonymously to see which tools people use. Your settings and saved signatures stay in this browser, and you can erase them below.
The site tells your browser to block it from sending data to other servers. The only outside download is the text-recognition data, fetched when you use OCR.
Signature requests travel inside the PDF you send yourself, by email or chat. There is no envelope stored online for anyone to read.
