Hi.  I have imported a png line drawing with a transparent background into Illustrator CC 2017 to convert it to an SVG, and it looks great, EXCEPT iL is adding a thin, rectangle border around the image (the image below is the PNG file I am using).  How can I remove this border, and have the image look exactly like below?

Thanks,

Steve

    So you expanded the Trace before sending it to Muse, but did you delete the white objects?

    Also: why is the bounding box so big? Is it the size of the artboard?

    How's the clipboard setting in Illustrator?

    Please show the issue.

    Please include the (open) layers panel in the screenshot. Object selected.
