: Efficient methods to clean up vector art I have this artwork I was sent for a product and I need to clean up the lines and all these overlapping lines. I can't get the client to go back

@Nimeshi706

if you don't need stroke to edit means just shape based object , just expand all your strokes by selecting all artwork and going to object > expand.
after that you can use shape builder tool.
like images,i have attached.you can drag over shape to join them in single shape hold alt to remove extra shapes

As Scott mentioned Doing it manually would produce the best results, it would also take a while.

Doing it manually

You could potentially use the path eraser tool and/or the direct selection tool to select and manually move each and every anchor point



If you want it to go faster you would need to use a plugin. I know you said you were looking for a cheaper way, however:

Time = Money

Note: Astute Graphics usually offers a free 14 day trial for their plugins so you can try them out.
