BIMI record checker.

Enter a domain to fetch its BIMI record over DNS-over-HTTPS and see whether the logo will actually be displayed — not just whether the record parses. The DMARC policy (p=quarantine or p=reject) and whether a certificate is declared are both checked. No signup, no backend: everything runs right here in your browser.

BIMI record checker

Enter a domain to look up its BIMI record. Leave Selector blank to use the standard default selector.

Tip: leave Selector blank to use default._bimi.yourdomain.com.

Checked at exactly this name — there is no organisational-domain fallback, so a subdomain is reported on its own.

The basics, briefly

BIMI explained

What is BIMI?

BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) lets a domain publish a logo that supporting mailbox providers display next to authenticated email. The record is a DNS TXT record at selector._bimi.yourdomain.com pointing to an https:// SVG logo, and optionally a certificate that proves ownership of the mark.

Why won't my logo show up even though I published a record?

BIMI requires DMARC to be enforced — p=quarantine or p=reject — at the domain the mail is sent from. A record published under a monitoring-only p=none policy will never trigger a logo, no matter how well-formed it is. Gmail and Apple Mail also require a certificate in the a= tag — for Gmail, a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) or Common Mark Certificate (CMC). Other mailbox providers set their own rules.

What does this tool actually verify?

It checks that the record parses, that the required v= and l= tags are present and well-formed, that the DMARC policy is p=quarantine or p=reject, and whether an a= certificate address is declared. It does not read the DMARC pct= tag, which Gmail requires to be 100. It cannot verify that a certificate is valid or that the logo meets the SVG Tiny Portable/Secure profile mailbox providers require — neither can be checked from a browser. Your certificate issuer confirms both.
