Trezor Bridge

Secure desktop connector for Trezor hardware wallets

What is Trezor Bridge?

Trezor Bridge is a lightweight desktop service that lets your Trezor hardware wallet communicate safely with web-based wallet apps. It acts as a small, secure bridge between your browser and your device so you can send and sign transactions while keeping private keys offline.

Secure local connection

Bridge runs locally on your computer and only exposes a small, well-defined API to browser apps. It never leaves your machine.

Cross-platform

Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux — simple installers keep it updated and compatible with modern browsers.

Quiet and reliable

Runs in the background with minimal system footprint and provides stable communication for wallet operations.

Quick answers

Do I need Trezor Bridge to use my Trezor?

In many cases yes — modern web wallets connect to your Trezor via Bridge. Some browser extensions offer alternatives, but Bridge is the recommended desktop connector.

Is it safe?

Yes — Bridge only facilitates communication; signing happens on your hardware device and private keys never leave the device.

How do I install it?

Download the installer for your OS, run it, and follow the prompts. After installation, refresh your browser and connect your Trezor device when prompted.

Best practices
