Free BIMI Record Generator
Generate a valid BIMI record and validate your logo against the strict SVG Tiny Portable/Secure (P/S) profile. Free, no signup required.
BIMI puts your verified brand logo next to authenticated mail in Gmail, Apple Mail, and Yahoo. Enter your domain to check the DMARC prerequisite, drop in your SVG to validate it instantly, and copy the exact TXT record to publish.
Your BIMI Record
Publish this as a TXT record at host default._bimi on your DNS provider. It replaces whatever is currently there.
DNS provider instructions
This record is generated from your inputs as a starting point. It isn’t a guarantee of display. Your logo appears only once DMARC is enforced and a valid VMC/CMC certificate is in place, and each provider may apply its own checks. Confirm delivery after publishing.
Logo Validator
BIMI logos must be SVG Tiny Portable/Secure (SVG P/S), a tightly restricted, square profile of SVG. Drop your logo in to check every rule instantly in your browser. Nothing you drop in is uploaded anywhere.
These checks cover the documented SVG Tiny Portable/Secure requirements and are a guide, not a guarantee. Gmail, Apple Mail, and certificate authorities may apply additional checks of their own.
Your logo will preview here as it appears in the inbox.
How recipients see it
Shrink to add margin so the mark clears the circle crop, or grow to fill more. Your change bakes into the downloaded SVG.
Background color
BIMI logos should sit on a solid background. Pick one to preview it and bake it into your SVG.
How It Works
Confirm DMARC enforcement
BIMI only works once your domain enforces DMARC at p=quarantine or p=reject. Enter your domain and we check it live. No signup required.
Validate your logo
Drop in your SVG and the in-browser validator checks it against every SVG Tiny P/S rule, then previews it as a real inbox avatar. Auto-fix common problems in one click.
Publish the TXT record
Copy the generated record and add it at host default._bimi in your DNS. Add a VMC or CMC certificate so Gmail and Apple Mail show your logo.
What is a BIMI record?
A BIMI record is a DNS TXT record that tells mailbox providers where to find your brand logo and the certificate that authorizes it.
BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) lets your verified logo appear next to authenticated messages in Gmail, Apple Mail, and Yahoo. The record is published at default._bimi.yourdomain.com and points to a square SVG logo (the l= tag) and, for the logo to actually display, a Verified Mark Certificate (the a= tag). BIMI sits on top of DMARC, so the domain must already enforce it and pass SPF and DKIM authentication. InboxAlly’s free generator builds a valid record and validates your logo against the strict SVG Tiny Portable/Secure profile. Implements the BIMI specification.
Why Publish a BIMI Record?
Show your logo in the inbox
Your verified brand mark appears next to every authenticated message in Gmail, Apple Mail, and Yahoo, before the recipient even opens it.
Build trust and recognition
A consistent, verified logo signals legitimacy and makes your mail instantly recognizable, helping recipients tell your real messages from impersonation attempts.
Reinforce your anti-spoofing posture
BIMI sits on top of DMARC enforcement, so adopting it pushes you to lock down p=quarantine or p=reject, closing the door on domain spoofing.
Stand out in a crowded inbox
Brands that display a logo see stronger recognition and engagement than plain-text senders, giving your campaigns a visible edge at the moment of triage.
VMC, CMC, or No Certificate?
Proves ownership of a registered trademark. Issued by DigiCert or Entrust (~$1,000+/yr). Displays your logo in Gmail, Apple Mail, and Yahoo, with a verified blue checkmark in Gmail.
For logos in use but not yet trademarked (or government/non-profit marks). Newer and lower-cost. Accepted by Apple Mail and Gmail; coverage is still expanding across providers.
You can publish a BIMI record without a certificate, but Gmail and Apple Mail will not show your logo. A handful of providers may still display it. Useful as a first step while a certificate is in progress.
BIMI Record Generator FAQ
What do I need before publishing BIMI?
BIMI requires that your domain already passes SPF and DKIM and enforces DMARC at p=quarantine or p=reject. You also need a square SVG Tiny Portable/Secure logo and, for Gmail and Apple Mail to display it, a VMC or CMC certificate. The tool checks the DMARC prerequisite for you live.
Do I have to buy a certificate (VMC/CMC)?
To actually display your logo in Gmail and Apple Mail, yes. A Verified Mark Certificate (VMC) requires a registered trademark and is issued by DigiCert or Entrust for roughly $1,000+ per year. A Common Mark Certificate (CMC) covers logos in use without a trademark and is newer and lower-cost. You can publish a BIMI record without a certificate, but most major providers will not show the logo.
What is SVG Tiny Portable/Secure?
It is a tightly restricted profile of SVG required for BIMI logos. The file must be square, declare version="1.2" and baseProfile="tiny-ps", include a title, and contain no scripts, animation, filters, external references, raster images, or text elements. Our in-browser Logo Validator checks every rule and can auto-fix the common problems.
Where do I add the BIMI record?
As a DNS TXT record at the host name default._bimi on your sending domain (for example default._bimi.example.com). Most DNS providers ask only for the host name and the value. The generator gives you exactly the value to paste.
Why does my logo have to be square?
Mailbox providers crop the logo into an avatar: a circle in Gmail, a rounded square in Apple Mail. A non-square SVG gets distorted or clipped, so BIMI requires a 1:1 viewBox starting at 0 0. The preview in this tool shows exactly how your logo lands inside each provider's avatar shape.
How long until my logo appears?
DNS propagation usually completes within an hour. Once the record, a valid logo, and a valid certificate are all in place and your mail is passing DMARC, supporting providers begin showing the logo on new messages, though some cache authentication results for a day or two.

InboxAlly Earns the Inbox.
A verified logo only appears next to mail that already lands in the inbox. Earning consistent inbox placement is a different problem. InboxAlly teaches mailbox providers to put your real mail where it belongs.
