Smooth tool

Shortcut: S. The Smooth tool reduces a path’s anchor points and smooths its curves.

Apply it to a path to simplify it — fewer anchors, smoother shape. The amount of simplification is controlled by Tolerance.

  • Raise Tolerance for stronger simplification; lower it to keep more detail.
