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.

    Excuse me, but how will it work for shaped type of photos? I mean, the white background shown as your example was a fixed rectangle. Can I remove the white background using the same method for headers and buttons?

    It works beautifully! Thank you so, so much for this! (Especially for including how to do it using the new style of Blogger, because other posts only tell you how to do it on the old style. Once again, THANK YOU!)

    Hi, I've just changed my blogger template (a template from another provider)to the Simple blogger template. However, my old background (only on the sides) is still showing up on my blog. I was hoping for a simple switch, so this is rather frustrating. Is there a way for me to remove the background on the sides of the blog? Would sure appreciate your help!! Carmen

  143. says:

    How do I line up the pictures with the blog text/title? - I was able to get rid of the frame on the "simple" design but the seems to be an invisible frame (eventhough I place the pictures "left" the still are slightly to the right and not in line with everything else).

  144. says:

    Worked perfectly. I even removed the drop shadow along the entire main content area!

  145. says:

    THAAAANK YOUUUUU
