BIMI Lookup

BIMI Record Checker - Verify Your BIMI Record, Logo & VMC Instantly

Check, validate, and troubleshoot your domain’s Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI) record in seconds.

Our free BIMI Lookup Tool helps you confirm whether your domain’s logo, DNS configuration, and Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) are correctly set up to display your brand logo in supported inboxes like Gmail and Yahoo.

What Is BIMI?

BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) is an email security and brand visibility standard that allows organizations to display their official logo beside authenticated emails in recipients’ inboxes.

BIMI works with existing email authentication protocols, SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, to ensure that only verified senders can show a brand-controlled logo. This boosts trust, recognition, and deliverability while helping users identify legitimate emails and avoid phishing.

Why Use a BIMI Record Checker?

Using the BIMI Record Checker ensures that your logo and DNS record are properly configured. The tool helps you:

• Verify BIMI TXT Record Syntax: Check that your domain’s BIMI record is correctly formatted.
• Validate Logo Accessibility: Confirm your SVG logo is hosted securely (HTTPS) and meets BIMI SVG Tiny P/S 1.2 standards.
• Check Verified Mark Certificate (VMC): Identify if a valid VMC is linked and accessible.
• Improve Email Trust & Deliverability: Strengthen your brand reputation and prevent spoofed emails.
• Troubleshoot Errors Instantly: Get diagnostic feedback and recommendations to fix misconfigurations.

How to Use the BIMI Lookup Tool

Follow these simple steps to check your BIMI record:

1. Enter your domain name (e.g., example.com) into the BIMI Lookup field.
2. Click “Check BIMI Record.”
3. The tool will query your domain’s DNS for a BIMI TXT record.
4. View detailed results, including:
   • BIMI version
   • Logo URL (SVG)
   • VMC certificate URL
5. Review warnings or errors to identify what needs to be fixed.

Example of a BIMI TXT Record

A correctly configured BIMI record looks like this:

default._bimi.example.com TXT "v=BIMI1; l=https://example.com/logo.svg; a=https://example.com/vmc.pem"

Explanation:

• v= defines the BIMI version (always BIMI1).
• l= specifies the secure URL of your SVG logo.
• a= links to the optional Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) file.

Common BIMI Errors & How to Fix Them

BIMI Requirements Checklist

Before your BIMI logo appears in mailboxes, make sure your domain meets these requirements:

• Active DMARC policy set to quarantine or reject
• SPF and DKIM authentication are properly configured
• SVG logo in Tiny P/S 1.2 format (square, simple, and branded)
• Logo and VMC files hosted securely on HTTPS
• Optional: Valid Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) for Gmail and other providers

Why Is My BIMI Logo Not Showing?

If your BIMI logo doesn’t appear in emails, one or more of these could be the cause:

• Your DMARC policy isn’t enforced (p=none)
• Your VMC certificate isn’t valid or accessible
• The SVG file doesn’t meet BIMI formatting requirements
• The email client you’re using doesn’t support BIMI
• BIMI setup is correct, but still in the verification stage

Email Providers That Support BIMI

Currently, these email clients and providers support BIMI logos:

• Gmail
• Yahoo Mail
• Apple Mail
• Fastmail
• AOL Mail
• Netscape Mail
• La Poste
• Zone Webmail

(Microsoft 365 currently does not support BIMI.)

How BIMI Works with Email Authentication

BIMI integrates with existing security layers to authenticate your messages:

• SPF: Confirms sending mail servers are authorized.
• DKIM: Protects message integrity during delivery.
• DMARC: Enforces handling of unauthenticated emails.

Once these are properly configured, email providers can fetch your BIMI record and display your official logo beside verified messages.

BIMI Logo Specifications

To ensure proper rendering across inboxes:

• The logo must be square and represent your official brand mark.
• Save as SVG Tiny P/S 1.2 (vector-based format).
• File size should be under 32 KB.
• Host on a secure HTTPS domain.
• Avoid adding text or unregistered marks within the logo.
