I found a royalty free
SVG
image on the net. I’m experimenting with web design usingSVG
. The problem I’m having is that theSVG
background is white.How do I delete / remove the white background, using Adobe Illustrator?
Answer
Try the Direct Selection tool (keyboard shortcut A, or the white mouse pointer in the toolbox) and see if you can click it.
If you can’t select and erase it, chances are the white “background” isn’t a background at all; rather, it’s the color of the artboard. It’s set as white in Illustrator for obvious reasons, but it’s ultimately an arbitrary thing. If you really want to change the artboard color, you can do that.
