: Adobe Illustrator, two objects, want to subtract one from the other I have two objects in Illustrator, a black circle and the silhouette of a person (in white). I want to subtract the silhouette

There are two ways.

1. Compund Path

Object > Compound Path > Make (Ctrl/Command+8)



2. Pathfinder

Window > Pathfinder (Ctrl/Command+Shift+F9)

Select your objects, then Minus Front in the Pathfinder Panel



That will remove the silhouette shape from the circle - leaving it blank (transparent).
