: How do I remove the outline in Illustrator? I just designed a logo for my own freelance business. It's funny that I don't know how to remove the lines of my own logo. I don't know how to

@Lengel450

There are two ways to go about it


Using the path finder tool as described above. You can United different objects into one and you don't have to deal with individual objects anymore.
Using Shape Builder tool: Select the collection of objects. Hit Ctrl/Cmd + M, and thus you have selected the Shape Builder tool. Use the tool to run over (with left mouse click) the selection and you can build whatever shape you like.


Here is a tutorial if you want to read about it - helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/creating-shapes-shape-builder-tool.html

I figured it out only after I zoomed in your image, the border you are seeing isn't actually a border, it's a rasterization error found in Illustrator and there isn't much you can do about it. (see my answer on that topic here).


Also, setting the opacity of an object to 0 won't make it disappear
and when you can still select it and see it's outline (the blue one).


In your case, trying to figure out an easy way for you to get the desired result is to:


Make all your shapes 100% opaque again and select all of them
Go to Pathfinder > Divide
Ungroup the resulting shape and delete all the other shapes not needed for your desired design
After you got your moustache design, select all the remaining shapes and go back to Pathfinder > Unite to unite all of them back into a single object.




A very fast example of something looking like yours so you get my point:



This might not be the cleanest way of doing it or the fastest but it will get you there with little trouble since your design isn't that complicated.
