About this tool
Inspect BIMI records before brand logo rollout so the default selector, hosted SVG logo, certificate URL, and DMARC enforcement signal are visible in one report.
BIMI Record Checker inspects the default._bimi TXT record that can tell supported inboxes where to find a verified brand logo. It parses the BIMI version, logo URL, certificate URL, and related DMARC enforcement signal so brand indicator setup can be reviewed before rollout.
- Looks up the default._bimi hostname and extracts BIMI TXT records.
- Parses v, l, and a tags for version, SVG logo URL, and VMC or CMC certificate URL.
- Checks DMARC policy alongside BIMI because mailbox providers generally expect quarantine or reject enforcement.
How to use BIMI Checker
Enter a domain or default._bimi hostname, run the check, and review the detected BIMI record plus parsed tags. Start with the l logo URL, optional a certificate URL, and DMARC policy because BIMI display depends on both DNS setup and strong authentication.
When this tool is useful
- Check a domain before launching BIMI brand indicators in supported mailboxes.
- Review logo and certificate URLs after a DNS, CDN, or certificate hosting change.
- Audit BIMI alongside SPF, DKIM, and DMARC during email trust and deliverability work.
Practical tips
- Confirm DMARC is enforced with quarantine or reject before expecting BIMI logos to display widely.
- Host BIMI logo and certificate URLs over HTTPS and keep them publicly reachable.
- Keep the record at default._bimi unless you have a provider-specific reason to use another selector.
Examples you can test
These examples show the kind of real input and reviewed output this tool is designed to support. Use them as a starting point before pasting your own production content, then compare the output with the destination system that will use the result. The goal is not only to produce a value, but to make the input assumptions, output format, and review step clear enough that the result can be trusted in a real workflow.
Check default BIMI setup
Example input
example.com
Expected output
BIMI record, logo URL, certificate URL, and DMARC policy signal
Useful before requesting logo display in supported inboxes.
Review logo hosting
Example input
default._bimi.example.com
Expected output
Parsed l and a tags with HTTPS warnings
BIMI depends on hosted assets staying reachable after CDN or certificate changes.
Validation checklist
Run through these checks before copying the result into a CMS, codebase, spreadsheet, campaign, support ticket, or production document. Small formatting differences, unit assumptions, hidden whitespace, and platform-specific rules are common sources of mistakes in quick browser tools, so the final review should happen in the same context where the output will be used.
- Publish exactly one BIMI TXT record at default._bimi.
- Use an HTTPS logo URL in the l tag.
- Add a VMC or CMC certificate URL in the a tag when required by your mailbox targets.
- Confirm DMARC is enforced with quarantine or reject.
- Review SPF and DKIM alignment before expecting BIMI to display.
Why people use this tool
BIMI is not just a logo record. It sits on top of SPF, DKIM, and DMARC and can improve brand recognition in supported inboxes only when authentication is clean. A missing logo URL, non-HTTPS asset, or weak DMARC policy can prevent the logo from appearing even if the visible record looks simple.
