Sunset and sky Facebook covers
A sky makes one of the best cover backgrounds there is. It fills a wide strip without fuss, it changes mood with color alone, and it leaves plenty of calm space for a quote or a name. This preset is all sky: smooth sunset gradients, a glowing sun low on the horizon, blue daytime skies with soft clouds of light, and deep night palettes with scattered stars.
The gradient style is the heart of it. It blends three colors across the cover and adds a few soft glows, like light catching thin cloud. The waves style draws a sun and layered hills or sea under the sky, for a full sunset scene. Bokeh, with the night palette, gives you stars and city lights out of focus. Abril Fatface, a bold display serif, holds its own against bright colors.
Sunset photos are among the most copied images online, and many of the old gallery's covers were somebody else's holiday pictures. A generated sky is yours to use anywhere, including on a business Page, and you can match it to a quote, a season or the colors of your brand.

Tips for sunset & sky covers
Three colors make the sunset
The first three slots blend into the main gradient. Warm orange into peach into a dusty purple reads as sunset; pale blue into white reads as midday. Change only the third color and watch the time of day move.
Night sky with stars
Choose the deep navy palette and switch to bokeh. Turn the shape density up for a busy, starry sky, or down for a few bright points. White or pale yellow text stands out cleanly against it.
Big words, short line
Skies leave a lot of empty space, which is perfect for a short quote in large type. Four or five words in Abril Fatface fill the cover nicely; long sentences look better in the quotes preset.
Check contrast in the middle
Gradients get lighter and darker across the cover. If the contrast estimate under the preview drops, move the text to the darker side, or turn on the color band behind it.
A calm business cover
Yoga studios, therapists, travel agents and photographers often want a quiet cover. A soft sky gradient in brand colors with the business name and one line about what you do is simple and works on every screen.
Pair it with a beach
For water under the sky, try the beach & tropical preset, which adds layered waves.
