How do I remove the transparency grid in Illustrator?

To remove the transparency grid in Adobe Illustrator, go to View > Hide Transparency Grid. This will display a solid color (usually white) instead of the checkered grid.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• Why remove the transparency grid? The transparency grid is helpful for visualizing areas of your artwork that are transparent. However, it can be distracting when you want to see how your artwork will look on a solid background.

• How to hide the transparency grid:

  1. Open your document in Adobe Illustrator.
  2. Navigate to the View menu in the top menu bar.
  3. Select Hide Transparency Grid. If the transparency grid is already hidden, this option will instead say Show Transparency Grid.

• Result: Illustrator will now display a solid color background behind your artwork, instead of the transparency grid. You can customize this background color in the Preferences.

• Showing the Transparency Grid Again: To bring back the transparency grid, simply repeat the steps above. Select View > Show Transparency Grid.
