Why is my lock screen so zoomed in all of a sudden?

I've had a specific wallpaper set as my lock screen for months, and I take my phone out my pocket this morning to see the lock screen is zoomed in towards the picture isn't even recognizable.

This isn't the fault of the image, it was perfectly fine all the time beforehand. No matter what image I select, even Android pre-made wallpapers, they all zoom far into the center. When my phone gives me a preview of the wallpaper, it's fine. But when I close my phone and open to the lock screen, it's zoomed in.

I'm guessing I buttdailed some setting or swipe gesture to zoom in the wallpaper. How do I revert this setting?

Using a Galaxy S6 Edge.
