    Hi AceNeerav,

     

    I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on your intended final appearence. With parallax/motion turned on, your default static wallpaper image will be slightly zoomed in from the full image so that there is room at the edges for the parallax effect to "move" to, as noted in this article:

     

    iOS 7: How to reduce screen motion - Apple Support

     

    If you would like to keep parallax enabled (Reduce Motion off) but reduce the zoom of your wallpaper image, you may want to try turning off Perspective Zoom, as noted here:

     

    • Change the wallpaper. Go to Settings > Wallpaper > Choose a New Wallpaper.

    When choosing an image for new wallpaper, the Perspective Zoom button determines whether your selected wallpaper is zoomed. For wallpaper you already set, go to the Wallpaper setting, then tap the image of the Lock screen or Home screen to see the Perspective Zoom button.

     

    Note: The Perspective Zoom button doesn’t appear if Reduce Motion (in Accessibility settings) is turned on. See Reduce screen motion.

    Sincerely,

    - Brenden
