When crafting designs that require granular alterations -- such as you would with logos and icons -- you're going to need to know how to make simple edits to the structure of a design, like rounding the corners. To round corners in Adobe Illustrator all we have to do is grab the Direct Selection tool and drag the Live Corner Widgets on the object. This is a rather simple concept that I'll be demonstrating in this tutorial.

After completing this tutorial, you'll be equipped with everything you need to know to round all of the corners, individual corners, multiple corners, change the corner type, and set a numerical value for the radius of a rounded corner. I'll also be addressing what to do if you can't round corners in Adobe Illustrator because the Live Corner Widgets aren't populating.
