TXT Record Lookup

Read every TXT record a domain publishes. Enter a domain and the lookup lists each TXT value exactly as served, with its TTL. TXT records hold things like SPF policies, domain-verification tokens and DKIM keys. The query runs live against a public DNS resolver over a secure connection from your browser, and results may be cached.

Look up a domain to read all of its TXT records. Records come from a public resolver over a secure connection and may be cached (TTL).

How it works

  1. 1

    Enter the domain

    Type the domain whose TXT records you want to read, such as example.com.

  2. 2

    Look up the TXT records

    Press Look up. A public resolver returns every TXT record published at that name.

  3. 3

    Read each value

    Each row is one TXT string, shown unquoted exactly as published, with its TTL.

Instant & 100% private — nothing is uploaded

Everything runs locally in your browser. Your code, text and files are processed on your own device and are never sent to a server — so there are no upload waits, no size limits from us, and nothing is ever stored or logged.

Frequently asked questions

What is stored in a TXT record?
A TXT record holds arbitrary text attached to a domain name. In practice it carries machine-readable policies and tokens: SPF (v=spf1…), DKIM public keys, DMARC at the _dmarc name, and ownership-verification strings for various services. This tool shows each value with its surrounding quotes already removed.
Why does a domain have several TXT records?
Different systems each add their own TXT record at the same name, so it is normal to see an SPF policy alongside several verification tokens. They coexist without conflict because each consumer looks only for the prefix it cares about. The lookup lists them all so you can see the full set.
Are TXT values shown exactly as published?
Yes. Long TXT records are split into chunks in DNS and wrapped in quotes; the values here are reassembled and unquoted so you read the actual string. They come from a public resolver over a secure connection and may be cached, so the TTL shows how long a value can be served from cache.
