Description
Trezor Suite is the companion application for Trezor hardware wallets. It provides a single, secure environment to view balances, sign transactions, manage accounts, update firmware, and configure privacy settings. The Suite is available as a desktop application and as a secure web interface; both versions aim to deliver the same core functionality while keeping private keys safely inside the hardware device.
Downloading the Suite is the recommended first step after receiving a Trezor device. The software is built to guide new users through setup while offering advanced controls for experienced users. It emphasizes security-first design: transaction signing always happens on the device, crucial confirmations are shown on the hardware display, and several anti-phishing and anti-tamper cues are included in the onboarding flow.
Why download Trezor Suite?
The Suite centralizes wallet functions within a trusted interface that minimizes the risk of accidental exposure or misconfiguration. It supports portfolio tracking across multiple cryptocurrencies, provides tools for coin control and privacy, and automates firmware updates to keep devices protected against emerging threats. For most users, the Suite balances convenience and security better than alternative non-official tools.
How to prepare before downloading
- Verify you have the Trezor device and the recovery seed card that came in the package.
- Choose a secure computer — avoid unknown public PCs and ensure the operating system is up to date.
- Have a reliable USB cable available for initial device connection.
- Decide whether you will use the desktop app or the web interface based on your workflow and operating system.
Download and installation (quick overview)
- Select the appropriate installer for your operating system and download the installation package.
- Run the installer and follow the on-screen prompts to complete the installation.
- Launch the Suite and connect your Trezor device when prompted to start the guided setup.
- When asked, create a new wallet or restore using an existing recovery seed; set a PIN and optionally enable a passphrase.
- Finish any recommended firmware updates through the Suite to ensure device security is up to date.
Note: Always confirm file integrity when possible and avoid using unofficial or mirrored installers to reduce the risk of tampered software.

Security best practices
Treat the Suite as part of a layered security approach. Keep the computer you use for wallet management clean and updated. Never type your recovery seed into your computer or share it with anyone. Record the recovery seed on physical media and store it in a secure, offline location. Use a strong PIN and consider a passphrase for an additional hidden wallet layer if you need extra protection.
Always verify transaction details on the Trezor device screen before approving. The device display is the ultimate source of truth for recipient addresses and amounts; it prevents man-in-the-middle tampering that could occur on a compromised host.
Troubleshooting common issues
- If the device is not recognized, try a different USB cable or port and restart the Suite.
- If the Suite reports an outdated firmware, follow the guided update steps to bring the device current.
- If you forget your PIN, the only recovery method is to wipe the device and restore from your recovery seed.
- If you experience app errors, restart the application or your computer and ensure no security software is blocking the Suite.
Quick start checklist
- Confirm you have the device and recovery seed card.
- Download and install the Trezor Suite appropriate for your system.
- Initialize the device, set a PIN, and record the recovery seed offline.
- Perform a small test transaction to validate receiving and sending flows.
- Schedule periodic checks for firmware and app updates.
