DKIM Record Checker

Verify the DKIM public key published by a domain. Leave the selector blank to probe 20+ common selectors (google, selector1, k1, mailgun, etc.).

Optional selector — leave blank to auto-probe.

What is DKIM?

DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) cryptographically signs each outgoing message with a private key. Receivers fetch the matching public key from your DNS at <selector>._domainkey.<domain> and verify the signature, proving the email wasn't tampered with in transit.

Selectors explained

A selector is a short name (e.g. google, selector1, k1) that lets you rotate keys without breaking everything. Each sending platform uses its own — Google Workspace uses google, Microsoft 365 uses selector1 and selector2, SendGrid uses s1 and s2.

What to look for in a DKIM record

  • v=DKIM1 — version (required).
  • k=rsa — key type.
  • p=… — the base64 public key. Empty p= means the key has been revoked.

Best practice

Rotate DKIM keys every 6–12 months and use 2048-bit keys whenever your DNS provider supports them.
