Connect your Trezor hardware wallet securely to your digital asset platforms
Trezor Bridge is an essential software component that enables your computer and web browser to securely communicate with your Trezor hardware wallet. As digital assets become more integrated into everyday finance, secure access to your wallet is crucial. Trezor Bridge ensures that this communication is encrypted, private, and reliable.
Trezor Bridge is a small utility that runs in the background of your operating system and acts as a communication layer between your Trezor hardware wallet and web applications like Trezor Suite or compatible third-party services. Unlike browser extensions, which may be deprecated or blocked by some browsers, Trezor Bridge offers a consistent and stable experience across platforms.
If you want to interact with your Trezor device from your desktop browser securely and smoothly, Trezor Bridge is necessary. It allows your wallet to sign transactions, confirm addresses, and manage assets through the Trezor Suite interface or other compatible interfaces.
Installing Trezor Bridge is quick and easy. Visit the official download page and choose your operating system. Once downloaded, run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions. After installation, restart your browser. Your Trezor device should now be detected when you connect it.
Trezor Bridge works on the following operating systems:
Trezor Suite is the recommended application for managing your Trezor wallet. Once Trezor Bridge is installed, open Trezor Suite in your browser or as a desktop app. Your connected Trezor device will be detected and ready for use. You can now view your balances, send and receive cryptocurrencies, manage tokens, and update firmware.

It plays a vital role in enabling hardware-level signing of transactions across many platforms.
In some modern browsers, Trezor devices can be accessed using WebUSB. However, this method is not always reliable due to browser limitations, security policies, and cross-platform inconsistencies. Trezor Bridge provides a more stable and universal alternative, making it the recommended method by the Trezor team.
