A concise, official HTML guide to download, install and troubleshoot Trezor Bridge for connecting your Trezor hardware wallet to web apps and Trezor Suite.

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is the official helper application that enables your desktop browser to communicate with your Trezor hardware wallet. It creates a secure local channel between web apps (like Trezor Suite) and the device so you can manage crypto safely.

This page includes step-by-step instructions, official links, and an FAQ. Always download Bridge from an official Trezor domain to avoid tampered installers.

  2. Save the installer and run it with administrative privileges.

Installation — Step by step

Windows (recommended)

  1. Double-click the downloaded .exe file.
  2. Allow the installer to make changes when the UAC prompt appears.

Troubleshooting & Tips
