What this BIMI inspector validates:

01
DMARC Enforcement (p=quarantine or p=reject)
Mailbox providers hide BIMI logos if DMARC is p=none or pct is below 100%.
02

Checks v=BIMI1; tags and valid HTTPS locations for SVG & VMC.
03
SVG Tiny-PS Vector Validation
Verifies baseProfile="tiny-ps", square viewBox, size under 32KB, and zero scripts.
04

BIMI & VMC Compliance FAQs.

Learn how BIMI pairs with DMARC enforcement to put your verified brand logo inside recipient inboxes.

Why is DMARC enforcement required before BIMI works?

Mailbox providers will only display your brand logo if your domain is protected against spoofing. Your domain must publish a DMARC record set to p=quarantine or p=reject with pct=100.

What is an SVG Tiny-PS file?

BIMI requires a square vector SVG file formatted under the SVG Tiny Portable/Secure (baseProfile="tiny-ps") standard with no embedded raster images or scripts, kept under 32KB.

Do I need a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC)?

Yahoo Mail and Fastmail may display BIMI logos without a VMC, whereas Gmail and Apple Mail require a valid VMC (a=https://.../cert.pem) for trademarked logos.
