Quickly identify the sender of email messages in Gmail without opening the message.
Gmail Sender Icons is a Google Chrome extension that makes it easy for you to quickly and visually identify email senders in Gmail. It shows the company domain name of the email sender and the official logo (favicon) of the sender's organization alongside the email message.
For instance, if you receive an email from [email protected], the Gmail extension will add a virtual label google.com to your email message and also a logo of the Google website next to the message so you can immediately identify the sender in the email list.
Gmail Sender Icons has been featured on Product Hunt, LifeHacker, The Next Web and host of popular websites.
The favicons and the sender's domain are visible across Gmail including search results. The sender's label is applied virtually and the actual labels of the email message are left unchanged.
The Gmail Chrome extension uses the Google S2 service for generating the website's favicon while the Gmail messages are parsed with the Inbox SDK framework. All processing is done locally in your browser and no Gmail data is ever shared or uploaded anywhere.
The add-on is open source and the code is available on Github.

- (2023-02-02) Francisco Gutiérrez Amorín: Very useful to easy identify emails, and also a nice phishing catcher
- (2022-10-19) Jenna Moakley: It's one of my "Always On" chrome extensions. Thank you!!
- (2021-12-13) Franco Colomba: By far the best "icon gmail extension" on the chrome web store! All others suck this one is by far the best one.
- (2021-10-11) Lawrence Lam: Nice. And it's free.
- (2021-03-22) Alex: Excellent extension! :)
- (2020-09-13) Office of Er Behera: Not working ..can u reslove it ?
- (2020-08-31) Richard Hoefer: Hello Amit Agarwal, I've used your extension for the past year and it really helps me to quickly skim my inbox for items of importance, and also as an authenticator check of the sender domain. I have ADHD and am a visual processor of information, vs text, and so the icon-only mode is very helpful. Have you considered allowing for user selection of which column the favicons display in? For example, I would like to see how it would look if the icons displayed in the column to the right of "importance Indicators", and to the left of the SENDER FIELD? Thank you!

- (2020-07-30) Philip Matthew: Works great! Suggestion: would love if emails sent from my team (with me cc'd) would show the domain of the TO email
- (2020-03-28) Govil Gupta: quite good, just intalled
- (2019-08-23) Sentient: I hope this icon is a little bigger.
- (2019-03-29) Thane Brimhall: This plugin works great for me and helps me keep track of conversations when the subject line is unhelpful. The only improvement I would wish to see is the ability to blacklist a domain (for example my company's domain) and to include the domain of the other people on the thread instead.
- (2019-02-02) Francesco Bocanelli: Excelente extensión. Elimina la labor de poner manualmente las etiquetas a los correos entrantes.
- (2019-01-25) Stavros Skamagkis: This is a very useful extension to get a quick glance of the senders without reading the message's title at all. Really saves a lot of time. But unfortunately this extension makes Gmail consume awfully lot of CPU and RAM on relatively low-end computers. My CPU constantly spikes at 100% usage while I have this extension enabled, and I feel that all those consumed CPU cycles are not really necessary for a relatively simple function like this. So all in all it's a great convenience I'd say but it's kinda pity that it uses so much system resources. I hope you 'll be able to fix this critical issue in the future. If that happens, I'll be sure to update my review and give the extension 5 stars instead :)
- (2018-11-15) Klaus Rogall: Layout nicht passend, wenn man anderes Design als das Default-Design eingestellt hat.

- (2018-06-29) sanjeet kumar: nice concept.
- (2018-06-15) red9350: Used to work well, now it's broken on the "old" gmail interface
- (2018-06-12) Excellent extension that provides constant value. I can immediately know if the email is from a known source. Google spam filter is great but when something falls through the cracks, by looking at the icon/sender I know it is spam. Excellent extension and highly recommended
- (2018-06-12) YOGESH KUMAR: super
- (2018-06-11) Sudhindra Arsikere: Too much space on the subject line.
- (2018-06-06) Marce Speranza: Había dejado de funcionar con el nuevo Gmail, pero lo actualizaron y anda tan bien como antes.
- (2018-06-06) Sourav Ghosh: Very helpful extension. I am using it for more than a year. Recently it stopped working in the new Gmail interface but it was fixed by the developer within 3-4 days after I sent him an email.

- (2018-04-27) Jacky Liang: Doesn't work for Vertical Pane or the new Gmail update. If you could get it working for at the least Vertical, I would come back and rate it 5 stars =)
- (2018-04-27) Kevin Jacob Kurian: Nice extension. One of the reasons that I am still using Chrome instead of Firefox. It would be great if the app can be updated for the new Gmail interface too
- (2018-04-26) Julio Del Valle: I really like to see sender icons, very useful . Are there plans to update it for works with the new GMail interface (released in April 2018)?
