MAIL-03 / EMAIL AUTHENTICATION

BIMI Checker

Check a domain's BIMI record, which displays your verified brand logo beside authenticated messages in supporting inboxes like Gmail and Apple Mail.

About the BIMI Checker

BIMI displays your verified brand logo next to authenticated emails in inboxes that support it, boosting recognition and trust. It only works once you have DMARC at enforcement. This tool checks your BIMI record and whether it includes the certificate providers increasingly require.

What this tool checks

It looks up the BIMI TXT record at the selected selector, extracting the logo URL and any VMC (Verified Mark Certificate) reference.

BIMI prerequisites

BIMI requires DMARC set to quarantine or reject, an SVG logo hosted over HTTPS, and — for Gmail and others — a VMC proving you own the trademark on the logo.

Frequently asked questions

What is BIMI?

BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) is a standard that shows your brand logo beside authenticated email in supporting inboxes like Gmail, Apple Mail, and Yahoo.

What do I need for BIMI to work?

Enforced DMARC (quarantine or reject), an SVG Tiny P/S logo served over HTTPS, a BIMI DNS record, and usually a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) for major providers.

Why isn't my BIMI logo showing?

The most common reasons are DMARC not being at enforcement, a missing VMC, or a logo that doesn't meet the strict SVG profile. All three must be correct.
