BIMI Record Checker
Verify your BIMI readiness and brand logo configuration
About BIMI
BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) is an emerging standard that allows organizations to display their verified brand logo next to their emails in supporting email clients. It builds on strong email authentication (SPF, DKIM, and enforced DMARC) to ensure only legitimate senders can display branded logos.
To implement BIMI, you need proper authentication protocols in place, a DMARC record with an enforcing policy (p=quarantine or p=reject), a Tiny PS SVG logo file hosted securely via HTTPS, and optionally a VMC (Verified Mark Certificate) for email clients like Gmail that require it.
BIMI adoption is growing steadily. Gmail, Apple Mail, Yahoo Mail, and Fastmail already support BIMI, making your brand more visible and trustworthy in their inboxes. Use this tool to check your BIMI readiness.
