<feMorphology>
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The <feMorphology> SVG filter primitive is used to erode or dilate the input image. Its usefulness lies especially in fattening or thinning effects.
Like other filter primitives, it handles color components in the linearRGB color space by default. You can use color-interpolation-filters to use sRGB instead.
