Add 'feComponentTransfer' into svg filter in order to remove semi-transparent edges: ``` <filter id="blur" filterUnits="userSpaceOnUse" color-interpolation-filters="sRGB"> <feGaussianBlur stdDeviation="20 20" edgeMode="duplicate" /> <feComponentTransfer> <feFuncA type="discrete" tableValues="1 1" /> </feComponentTransfer> </filter> ``` Now you fix it by this: ``` /* Add this CSS to remove transparent border around the image */ left: -10%; width: 120%; ``` See [this article](https://css-tricks.com/the-blur-up-technique-for-loading-background-images/#article-header-id-3).
