Poems & Poets
Are the poems authentic?
The poems are created by an advanced AI that analyzes and emulates the style of the selected poet. They are not original works by the poets, but rather new, unique poems written in their respective style. Each poem is a one-of-a-kind creation made specifically for your photo.
Are the images of the poets authentic?
The portraits of the poets were generated with AI and serve as visual representations. They are not historical photographs or paintings. The images are meant to help you recognize the poets and establish a personal connection.
What criteria were used to select the poets?
Our selection includes over 300 poets from 44 countries. We've emphasized a diverse mix: from classical masters like Goethe, Shakespeare, and Rumi to modern poets from all continents. The selection considers different eras, styles, and cultural backgrounds.
Can I choose the poet myself?
Yes! After selecting a photo, you can choose from the entire poet collection the style in which your poem should be written. You can therefore have the same photo interpreted in different poetic styles.
In which languages are poems created?
Poem Diary supports 44 languages — from German and English to French, Spanish, and Japanese, as well as Hindi and Vietnamese. The app automatically detects your device language and creates poems in that language.
How long does it take to create a poem?
Creation typically takes only a few seconds. You can watch the poem being created in real time, as the text appears word by word — a particularly fascinating experience.
Features & Usage
Can I create multiple poems with one image?
Yes! You can use the same photo as many times as you like and select a different poet each time. This creates completely different poems from the same image — each interpretation is unique.
What should I consider when selecting an image?
Any photo is suitable in principle. Particularly impressive poems emerge from images with atmosphere — landscapes, seasons, special moments, or emotional scenes. The AI analyzes your image and draws inspiration from the colors, atmosphere, and content.
By the way, the AI also recognizes text in the image, such as on signs or T-shirts, and incorporates it into the poem.
Images with pornographic, violence-glorifying, or politically extreme content are not suitable. The AI recognizes such content and will reject the generation — you'll receive a corresponding notice.

Does Poem Diary work without an internet connection?
You need an internet connection to create new poems, as the AI runs on our servers. However, you can view your already created poems offline anytime, as they're stored locally on your device.
Can I download my poems?
Yes! You can save each poem as an image. The poem is formatted as a beautiful image together with your photo, the poet's name, and the title, which you can save to your photo library.
Can I share my poems?
Yes! You can share your poems directly from the app via all common channels — whether WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, email, or other apps. The poems are shared as attractively designed images that combine your photo and the poem.
Can I add notes to my poems?
Yes! You can add a personal note to each poem you create — for example, what moved you about the moment or to whom you'd like to dedicate the poem. The note can optionally be included in the shared image when sharing.
Can I edit a poem after it's created?
The poem text itself cannot be changed, as each poem is an authentic AI work in the style of the chosen poet. However, you can edit your personal note at any time. If you don't like a result, you can simply create a new poem with the same photo.
