Illustrator is a great tool to create high-quality graphics. However, when you need to remove the white background from a PNG file, Illustrator can be a bit difficult to use.

There are a few different methods that you can use to remove the white background from a PNG in Illustrator.

One way to remove the white background from a PNG in Illustrator is to use the Brush tool and select the Erase tool. With the Erase tool selected, you can use the brush cursor to paint over the white background of the PNG file.

You can also use the Dodge and Burn tools to adjust the brightness and color of the white background of the PNG file.

PRO TIP: If you are using a PNG file with a white background in Adobe Illustrator, be aware that you may lose some of the transparency of the image if you use the “Remove White Background” command. Use this command with caution, and test your image afterwards to make sure that the transparency has not been adversely affected.

Another way to remove the white background from a PNG in Illustrator is to use the Transparency feature. With the Transparency feature selected, you can use the transparency slider to adjust the opacity of the white background of the PNG file.

You can also use the Erase tool to paint over the white background of the PNG file, but you will need to be careful not to erase the important parts of the image.

The final way to remove the white background from a PNG in Illustrator is to use the Replace feature. With the Replace feature selected, you can use the arrow buttons to select the white background of the PNG file and then use the text tool to replace the white background with another color.

whichever method you choose, be sure to use a careful and deliberate process in order to avoid damaging the image or losing any of the important details.
