Secure Connection for Your Hardware | Trezor Bridge Guide

Step-by-step instructions to install and use Trezor Bridge for safe, reliable communication with your Trezor device.

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a background service that connects your Trezor hardware wallet with Trezor Suite and supported browsers. Without Bridge, your computer may fail to detect your device. With Bridge, you can securely sign transactions, install firmware updates, and manage your crypto without interruptions. It runs quietly in the background, providing a protected communication channel.

1. Download Bridge

Go to trezor.io/bridge and choose the version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Verify you are on the official Trezor site before downloading.

2. Install

Run the installer and follow on-screen prompts. Bridge installs quickly and starts automatically. No manual launch is needed.

3. Connect Device

Plug your Trezor into the USB port. Trezor Suite and compatible wallets will detect it instantly through Bridge.

4. Manage Safely

All sensitive operations stay on your hardware wallet’s screen. Bridge only facilitates communication—it never exposes private keys.

Universal Compatibility

Bridge ensures smooth connectivity across operating systems and browsers, supporting both personal and professional use cases.

Lightweight & Automatic

Once installed, Bridge works silently. It updates quickly and consumes minimal system resources.

Trusted Security

Bridge is developed by Trezor’s creators, SatoshiLabs, ensuring trust and reliability in every connection.
