Page size on desktop and service

Hi, 

I have a report with multiple pages, 

 

I have a cousom page background set up which is an image set to Normal (in image fit setting on page background).

in the page size I have setup all the pages to be 16:9 (type on page size setting).

 

issue is, I see diffrent space on the side of the page on desktop as well as in the powerBI service, when a user navigate pages it does not seem to be the same size. below images one has less space on the side (blue spiral) where other one has more space. 

 

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong.

 

more space on the both sides

@amalrio , On desktop. Based on What panes you open and page size, desktop, keep on adjusting to page size and ratio. Basically best zoom in/out based on your setting. Same is true for Power bi service. Based on different user screen resolution and browser resolution it will try to fit in best.
