How to remove Blogger Picture/Image Shadow and Border

If you want to get rid of those annoying shadows and borders around blogger images, then follow the next steps (see the difference in the screenshot below):


If you are using the old Blogger interface:
  • Go to Dashboard - Design - Template Designer - Advanced - Add CSS - paste the following code - Press enter after the last character of the last line } - Apply to Blog.

If you are using the new Blogger interface:
  • Go to Dashboard - Template - Customize - Advanced - Add CSS - paste the following code - Press enter after the last character of the last line } - Apply to Blog.
.post-body img, .post-body .tr-caption-container, .Profile img, .Image img,
.BlogList .item-thumbnail img {
  padding: 0 !important;
  border: none !important;
  background: none !important;
  -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px transparent !important;
  -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px transparent !important;
  box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px transparent !important;
}

remove border in blogger pictures

Now your blogger images should appear without any border or shadow. Cheers!
Update:

If the above method doesn't work for you, do the following:

- Go to Blogger's Dashboard > Template > Edit HTML
- Click anywhere on the code area and search by pressing the CTRL + F keys for the following code:
  border: 1px solid $(image.border.color);

  -moz-box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
  -webkit-box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
  box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
Note: if you can't find the entire code, then try to find this line and the rest of it should appear:
-moz-box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
- Delete it and Save your template.

    1. Hi Blaming Beauty,

      Try this: Go to Design >> Edit HTML >> check the "Expand Widget Templates" checkbox and search for this piece of code:
      -moz-box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
      Next to this code you should find the following:
      -webkit-box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
      box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
      Delete all these three lines (be careful to not delete the } symbol after them), then save your template.

      Search for this line:
      .content-outer {
      Remove the following just below it:

      -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 40px rgba(0, 0, 0, .15);
      -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .15);
      -goog-ms-box-shadow: 0 0 10px #333333;

    1. Hi Bella, sorry for the very late reply.
      You should search for this code in your template:
      .post-body img, .post-body .tr-caption-container, .Profile img, .Image img,
      .BlogList .item-thumbnail img {


      ...and you will find the following code a little below:

      -moz-box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
      -webkit-box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);
      box-shadow: 1px 1px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, .1);


      Detele them. Hope it works... and thanks for visiting!

  96. This is great, I will come back and see if I need it later. Right now, I'd like to romove it only now and then on certain posts. Such as my last post at sunnyside I thought it would be nice for the fairies to not have a border around them so it would seem as if flying around rather than a photo. So I would maybe not have borders around any of them on that one particular post.?? any ideas?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. When you are uploading the image, go to the HTML section and after the img tag, add this line class="fairies" (screenshot)... then go to your template and paste the following code just above ]]></b:skin>:

      .fairies {padding: none !important;border: none !important;background: none !important;-moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px transparent !important;-webkit-box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px transparent !important;box-shadow: 0px 0px 0px transparent !important;}

      Hope it works!

      Delete
    2. Btw, you should add the class="fairies" line each time you want to make the borders invisible on a certain image.

  103. Thank you so much, however on a few posts there is still a border? Would it have something to do with the picture? Should I just remove the picture and upload it again?
    Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yep, it's because the pictures itself have a border. You should crop your pictures to have no border and upload them again. This trick is only for the border outside the pictures...

      You're welcome!

  104. This did not work for a blog I created yesterday. I believe they changed it to use box shadow images. Anyway, I tried just the following, and it worked:

    border-image-source: none !important;
    }
