About This Tool

What is BIMI?
BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) lets domains publish a logo that mailbox providers can display beside authenticated messages.

Why check it?
A BIMI record is only useful when the logo URL, certificate URL, and DMARC posture are aligned. This checker confirms the public DNS record and highlights the fields that usually need review.

Next step:
Check DMARC enforcement before relying on BIMI in production.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a BIMI checker verify? +

It checks the default._bimi DNS TXT record and parses the v=, l=, and a= tags used for brand indicator logo and certificate references.

Does BIMI require DMARC? +

Yes. Mailbox providers generally expect a strong DMARC policy such as quarantine or reject before showing BIMI logos.

Do I need a Verified Mark Certificate? +

Some mailbox providers require a Verified Mark Certificate for BIMI display. Publishing the a= tag helps document that certificate URL.
