Trezor Bridge — Official Download & Installation Guide

An animated, dark-themed, step-by-step walkthrough explaining how Trezor Bridge fits into the Trezor Suite ecosystem — and what to do if the standalone Bridge is deprecated on your system.

Why Trezor Bridge? (Short)

Modern browsers restrict direct USB access for security reasons. Trezor Bridge acted as a secure intermediary that allowed Trezor hardware wallets to communicate with desktop apps and web interfaces. Recent changes encourage use of Trezor Suite where Bridge functionality is integrated.

1

Check status

Confirm whether your system still needs the standalone Bridge or if you should install Trezor Suite (recommended).

2

Download

Use the official Trezor pages to download the recommended package for Windows, macOS, or Linux.

3

Install & connect

Install the package, restart your browser if needed, and connect your Trezor device using the supplied USB cable. Confirm prompts on-device.

Official Downloads

Prefer the best-supported experience: download Trezor Suite which includes the latest Bridge functionality. If you still require the legacy standalone Bridge, follow the official guidance.

Below is an example of the legacy install command for advanced Linux users (shown for reference):

# Example (do NOT run unless you trust the source)
# sudo dpkg -i trezor-bridge--amd64.deb
# or follow official installer instructions on trezor.io

My computer doesn't detect Trezor — what now?

Try a different USB cable/port, restart the browser, ensure Bridge or Suite is installed, and verify your OS drivers. On Windows, install via an administrator account.

Is the standalone Bridge still supported?

Trezor has announced deprecation of the legacy standalone Bridge; migrating to Trezor Suite is recommended. If you must keep Bridge, follow the uninstall and security instructions on the official site.
