Completely new to Illustrator.

How can I edit this image on Illustrator to where I only keep the letters and the backgroud is compeltely gone. I need to convert to svg.

What format is the file? If it is an Illustrator file, just select the black rectangle and delete it.

 

If it is a bitmap (jpg, png, psd, etc), I would do this in Photoshop and not Illustrator. Select the letters, remove the background—multiple options depending on your Photoshop abilities.

 

In both apps, use File > Export > Export as to save as an SVG file.
