Trezor Bridge – Complete Installation and Usage Guide

Last updated: October 6, 2025

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a communication tool developed by SatoshiLabs that connects your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer or web browser. It ensures secure communication between your wallet and the Trezor Suite or supported web apps.

Why You Need Trezor Bridge

Most browsers can’t communicate directly with USB-connected devices. Trezor Bridge solves this by running a small local service on your computer that allows Trezor Suite and web apps to detect your Trezor device and exchange encrypted data securely.

How to Install Trezor Bridge

  1. Go to the official website: Visit trezor.io/start or trezor.io/bridge.
  2. Download the installer: Choose your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux) and download the latest version.
  3. Install the software: Follow the installation steps for your OS. The process usually takes less than a minute.
  4. Restart your browser: After installation, restart your browser to activate Trezor Bridge.
  5. Connect your Trezor: Plug in your Trezor device, open Trezor Suite or the web interface, and it should now connect automatically.

How to Check if Trezor Bridge is Running

Troubleshooting

If Trezor Bridge doesn’t work, reinstall it from the official site or check for OS-level security settings blocking communication. Avoid downloading from third-party websites.

Security Tips

Conclusion

Trezor Bridge is an essential component for seamless and secure hardware wallet communication. Installing it ensures your Trezor wallet connects properly with Trezor Suite or web apps without compromising on safety.
