What Is BIMI?

BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) is a DNS-based email standard that lets your brand's logo appear next to your emails in supporting inboxes — including Gmail, Yahoo, and Apple Mail. It builds directly on top of DKIM, SPF and DMARC, and is the newest addition to the email authentication stack.

Requirements Before You Publish a BIMI Record

BIMI Prerequisites

✓DMARC must already be enforced at p=quarantine or p=reject (not p=none)
✓Your logo must be a square SVG file in the Tiny PS profile, hosted over HTTPS
✓For Gmail specifically, you also need a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) from an authorized certificate authority
✓Your domain should have an established, positive sending reputation

If you have not yet set up DMARC enforcement, start with our DMARC generator first — BIMI will not work without it.

Why BIMI Is Worth Setting Up

A recognizable logo in the inbox increases trust and can measurably improve open rates, since your brand becomes visually distinct from generic sender icons or first-letter avatars. It also signals to recipients that you have serious, properly configured email infrastructure — the same signal DMARC enforcement itself sends to inbox providers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a VMC to use BIMI?

You don't need a VMC for every provider, but Gmail specifically requires a Verified Mark Certificate to display your logo. Some other providers like Yahoo may show your logo without one.

Why won't my BIMI logo show up after I publish the record?

The most common reason is DMARC not being enforced (p=none instead of p=quarantine or p=reject). BIMI logos only display when DMARC enforcement is active and your sending reputation is solid.

What format does my logo need to be in?

BIMI requires a square SVG file that follows the Tiny PS profile — a restricted, simplified SVG format — hosted over HTTPS. A regular SVG export from most design tools will need adjustment to meet this spec.
