Given a bunch of data points and the associated labels, SVMs will build the separating hyperplanes in the best possible way.
Wait a minute, what are hyperplanes? To understand that, let's consider the following figure:

As you can see, the points are being separated by line boundaries that are equidistant from the points. This is easy to visualize in two dimensions. If it were in three dimensions, the separators would be planes. ...
