In this post, I have the tutorial for you guys in which I will tell you that how you can use the Shape Builder tool in the adobe illustrator.

This is one of the coolest tools in the illustrator. You can use it anywhere because this technique is very good and save a lot of time as well. As you know that Pathfinder has a lot of options to do interesting things from it. You can use it for joining the object, cropping the objects, Dividing the object, merging the object, to create the outlines as well.

But the Shape Builder tool is also used for the same process used for cutting, merging, cropping, joining and dividing etc. Shape builder is very simple in its working you just have to select and trace the area which you need to join, merge or divide or crop etc. You can create lots of shape from the shape builder tool because this tool is widely used in graphics designing and many designers used it for different purpose depends on their work what they want.

In this previous tutorial, I have explained all the procedure step by step how you can use the Pathfinder. Now I'm gonna adding the use of shape builder tool as well to give you complete tools which are used for the following functions that I have told you above in this article.
