BIMI Record Checker — Frequently Asked Questions
What is BIMI?
BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) is an email standard that lets brands display their logo next to authenticated emails in supporting email clients like Gmail, Apple Mail, and Yahoo.
Do I need a VMC for BIMI?
For Gmail and most enterprise clients, a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) from a Certificate Authority like Entrust or DigiCert is required. Some clients display logos without VMC if DMARC is at reject policy.
What SVG requirements does BIMI have?
BIMI logos must be a specific SVG profile (SVG Tiny PS), square aspect ratio, without external references, and served over HTTPS. The file must be accessible publicly.
Does BIMI improve email deliverability?
BIMI itself doesn't directly improve deliverability, but requiring DMARC at p=reject (which BIMI mandates) significantly improves authentication signals that affect inbox placement.
How do I create a BIMI record?
Publish a DNS TXT record at _bimi.yourdomain.com with your SVG logo URL and VMC certificate URL. Example: v=BIMI1; l=https://yourdomain.com/logo.svg; a=https://yourdomain.com/cert.pem
