Trezor Bridge — Official Connector for Trezor Suite

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is the lightweight official connector that lets your computer communicate with your Trezor hardware wallet through Trezor Suite and web-based apps. If you want to use the desktop Trezor Suite or interact with web-based wallet interfaces, installing Trezor Bridge from Trezor.io/Start is the recommended first step. The Bridge handles secure communication between your device and your computer without exposing private keys.

Encrypted device communications between hardware and Suite.

Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux via trezor.io start.

Auto-updates

Bridge prompts when updates are available (recommended).

Troubleshooting & best practices

If Trezor Suite does not detect your device after installing Bridge, try these troubleshooting steps:

Disconnect and reconnect your Trezor, using a different USB cable or port.
Ensure Bridge is running — check your system tray / menu bar for the Bridge icon.
Restart your browser and confirm browser permissions for USB devices.
Temporarily disable other USB management tools or browser extensions that could conflict.
Reinstall Trezor Bridge from Trezor.io Start if problems persist.

Security tip: always download Bridge from the official site. Avoid third-party copies or mirrors — the only trusted source is trezor.io start (also spelled Trezor.io Start and Trezor.io/Start).

Why you should use the official Bridge

The official Bridge is developed and maintained by the Trezor team to ensure compatibility and timely security updates. Using the official installer from trezor.io start reduces the risk of tampered software and ensures full support for the latest Trezor firmware and the Trezor Suite application.

Compatibility and system requirements

Trezor Bridge supports modern versions of Windows, macOS, and Linux. Before installing, make sure your operating system is up to date and that you have a stable internet connection to download the installer from Trezor.io/Start.

Privacy & security considerations

Trezor Bridge only provides an encrypted communication channel between your Trezor device and the Trezor Suite. It does not, and cannot, access your recovery seed or private keys. Always double-check the URL — trezor.io start — when downloading. If you receive unsolicited instructions to download Bridge from a different site, treat it as suspicious and verify via the official Trezor channels.
