I\'m trying to recreate an image shape, based purely on CSS. Although it seems to be very hard to make this exact shape, as I can not seem to find CSS properties that could
Apparently the shape is called an Squircle. After I found that term, it was quite easy to find someone who has already found a solution to creating the shape. I will leave the solution here, if somebody else needs it (definitely not as simple as border-radius):
Please be aware that I did NOT create this solution, all credit should be given to Mkmueller, https://codepen.io/mkmueller/, for his solution here: https://codepen.io/mkmueller/pen/wRJYKa
