Blogger Post Image Borders Change or Remove

Sometimes you may want to remove, delete or change the image border of a custom Blogger template or default Blogger template (Blogspot template). In this Blogger tutorial you will learn how easy it is to make changes to your template so that you can get rid of unwanted image borders around all the images that appear in your blog posts or around a single image in a blog post.

You will also learn how to enhance your Blogger template (Blogspot template) by changing the line color and line style of the existing image borders.

Note this Blogger tutorial applies to custom templates and the previous generation of Blogger templates. If you are using the new default Blogger Template Simple please refer to my Blogger tutorial How to Remove the Image Border in Blogger template Simple for instructions

This Blogspot tutorial is rated easy. It involves making minor alterations to your Blogger template (Blogspot template) but this is well within the capabilities of beginner bloggers and newbies. The changes will take less than 5 minutes to complete and can make the world of difference to your Blogger template.

How to Delete, Remove, Get Rid of the Image Border in Blogger Posts
The following instructions will remove the little border around the images in your Blogger posts.

  1. Login into Blogger if not already logged in

  2. From the Dashboard navigate to your blog. Go to Design > Edit HTML by clicking on the Design tab and then choosing the Edit HTML link

  3. Back up your existing Blogger template by clicking on the Download Full Template button

  4. Find the following code in your Blogger template (no need to check the Expand Widgets Template box as we are only working with the CSS Style Sheet). Note: the code in Blogger templates varies but this is the code you will find on a Blogger Minima template and most other default Blogger templates.


    .post img {
    padding:4px;
    border:1px solid $bordercolor;
    }

    If you do not have this code look for the following:

    img{
    padding: 4px;
    border:1px solid $bordercolor;
    }

  5. There are two ways to get rid of the unwanted border image code. You can either:

    • Remove the following line:

      border:1px solid $bordercolor;
      or

    • Change it to the following
      border:0px;

  6. Click on the Save Template button

  7. Click View Blog to admire your post images minus any image border.

Hi Rohit. To show code you need to use HTML entities. So for instance you replace < with &lt. To quickly encode your code go to Centricle. Good luck!

Edit>Layout does not appear in my blogger control panel. Are you sure you are covering all the options here?

# Login into Blogger if not already logged in

# Navigate to Layout > Edit HTML by clicking on the Layout tab

The Whizz said...

Hi Jason. At the Blogger Dashboard you will be able to see a row of links for your blog - New Posts (button), Edit Posts, Settings, Layout, Monetize. You need to click on Layout and then the Layout Tab that appears in the row of tabs (Posting, Settings, Layout, Monetize, View Blog).

If don't see this then I wonder if you are using the Classic rather than the Layout version of Blogger. Classic is the old version and you will know if you are using it because the word Template will appear instead of Layout in the row links and tabs in the Dashboard area.

These instructions are written for the Layout version only. If your blog is fairly new (created in the last two years or so) Blogger would have set the Beta Layout version for your blog by default but you may have changed it for some reason.

To change back to the Layout version go to Template > Edit HTML, scroll to the foot of the template area and on the left there will be an option to revert back to Layout template. Once you save you will see that the word Layout will replace Template in the row of tabs.

Hope this is clear. Thanks for your comment. I have updated the post to make it a bit clearer. Good luck!

Thank you, this is fantastic! I use the Simple template, so I just had to delete an extra part:

-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);

Straightforward really. :)
