What is BIMI?
BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification) is an email standard that allows organizations to display their brand logo alongside authenticated emails in supporting email clients like Gmail, Apple Mail, and Yahoo Mail.
When a recipient sees your logo next to your email, it builds instant trust and recognition. BIMI works by publishing a DNS TXT record at default._bimi.yourdomain.com that points to your SVG logo and optionally a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC).
BIMI requires a valid DMARC policy at enforcement level (p=quarantine or p=reject), making it the capstone of a complete email authentication setup.
What is a Verified Mark Certificate (VMC)?
What VMC Does
A VMC is a digital certificate that proves you legally own the logo displayed via BIMI. It's issued by certificate authorities like DigiCert or Entrust after verifying your trademark registration.
Why VMC Matters
Gmail requires a VMC to display BIMI logos. Without it, your logo may appear in Apple Mail and Yahoo Mail but not in Gmail — the world's most popular email client with over 1.8 billion users.
BIMI Logo Requirements
SVG Tiny PS Format
Your logo must be in SVG Tiny Portable/Secure (SVG Tiny PS) format — a restricted SVG profile that prevents embedded scripts or external references.
Square Aspect Ratio
The logo should be perfectly square with a centered design. Email clients will display it in a circular crop, so keep important elements away from edges.
HTTPS Hosting
The logo must be served over HTTPS from a publicly accessible URL. The server must allow cross-origin access for email clients to fetch the logo.
DMARC at Enforcement
Your domain must have a DMARC policy of quarantine or reject. BIMI will not work with p=none.
BIMI needs DMARC, and DMARC needs SPF
AutoSPF keeps your SPF record optimized so DMARC alignment passes and your BIMI logo can display. Setup takes 60 seconds.
What Our Customers Say
"AutoSPF Flattens SPF Records Seamlessly & Keeps Changes Logged - I am quite pleased with the product"
It does what it promises to do, and does it very well. I appreciate that it keeps a log of changes made, which prevents many mistakes. A client's SPF record would have way too many lookups, but AutoSPF makes that problem go away. The length of the SPF record is typically not the issue; it's the amount of lookups in the record that are. AutoSPF "flattens" the record, automatically expanding the defined lookups to IP addresses or ranges. And it auto-updates the record when the un-flattened lookups change.

"Helped us go beyond capacity"
AutoSPF did exactly as described, it helped us get past our 10 lookup limit. Afterwards, we hit another limit regarding overall capacity and when contacted, they quickly provided us with a new solution to eliminate capacity issues entirely going forward, so now we can add as many SPF records as needed. They also provided us with a personalized support video explaining their new method in its entirety using our instance as the example.
