THE SHORT VERSION — 01 / 03
Bridge is a connector.
Not a wallet.
Trezor Bridge is software that helps a supported web browser communicate with a Trezor hardware wallet. It passes requests between the browser and your device; it does not hold your coins or your recovery seed.
Trezor Suite is Trezor’s wallet application for managing accounts and assets. For most people, the official Suite app is the simplest starting point. Bridge is mainly relevant when a browser-based wallet or service specifically needs it.

GOOD QUESTIONS — 03 / 03
Before you
get started.
Quick answers to common questions about Bridge and the Trezor app.
Do I need Trezor Bridge to use my Trezor?
Not always. Trezor Suite may connect to your device without a separate Bridge installation. A browser-based wallet may ask for Bridge depending on your browser and setup. Follow the official instructions for the specific app you’re using.
Is Trezor Bridge the same as Trezor Suite?
No. Suite is a wallet app with account and asset features. Bridge is a communication layer that can help a browser talk to your hardware wallet. They serve different purposes.
Where should I get the app or Bridge?
Go directly to trezor.io and follow the download links and setup guidance there. Avoid links in unsolicited messages, ads, or direct messages.
What if a page asks for my recovery seed?
Stop. Do not enter your recovery seed on a website or computer. Close the page and consult Trezor’s official safety guidance using a URL you type yourself.
