The most common way people lose crypto is by downloading a fake wallet app or entering their recovery seed on a fake site. This page does not host any software. It only points you to the official source and teaches you how to confirm you're really there.

The only safe place to download Trezor Suite

Official software is published solely by SatoshiLabs on their website. Get it there — not from us, not from an ad, not from a search result you're unsure about.

Why where you download matters so much

With most software, a fake copy is an annoyance. With a crypto wallet, a fake copy is a trap. A counterfeit "Trezor Suite" can look pixel-perfect and behave normally right up until the moment it tries to trick you into revealing your recovery seed or approving a transaction to an attacker. Because crypto transactions are irreversible, there's no bank to call and no charge to dispute afterward. That's why experienced users treat the download step as the highest-stakes moment in the whole process.

Attackers know that people search for wallet software, so they buy ads, build look-alike websites, and try to rank copycat pages in search engines. The defense is simple and reliable: always start from the official domain, typed by you.

Step by step: the safe way to download

  1. Type the address yourselfOpen a new browser tab and type trezor.io directly. Don't click an ad, and be wary of sponsored results — they can be impostors.
  2. Check the domain carefullyConfirm the address bar reads exactly trezor.io. Watch for look-alikes using extra words, hyphens, or different endings.
  3. Open the Trezor Suite sectionFrom the official site, find Trezor Suite and choose between the desktop app and the web version.
  4. Pick your platformDownload the desktop build for Windows, macOS, or Linux — or use the web version if you prefer not to install anything.
  5. Install and openRun the installer, open the app, and connect your device. The app will guide you through firmware checks and setup.
  6. Never enter your seed into the computerGenuine setup and recovery ask for the seed only on the device itself. Any prompt to type it into the app or a website is fraud.

How to spot a fake download site

  • The domain isn't exactly trezor.io (extra words, hyphens, or odd endings are red flags).
  • It rushes you, offers a "special version," or asks for your recovery seed.
  • It arrived via an ad, an email, a DM, or a QR code from an untrusted source.
  • It asks you to disable security warnings or grant unusual permissions.

Desktop app or web version?

Both are official and both work. The choice comes down to your priorities.

Frequently asked questions

Does this site host the download?

No. We're an independent editorial site. We link to the official trezor.io and host no software of our own.

Is Trezor Suite free to download?

Yes. The software is free; you only pay for the hardware device.

The download link goes to another site — is that expected?

Yes. That's the official Trezor website, which is the correct and only safe place to get the app.

What if I already downloaded from somewhere else?

If you're unsure of the source, don't enter your seed or connect funds. Re-download from the official site, and if you ever typed your recovery seed into any app or website, treat those funds as compromised and move them using a freshly, safely set up wallet.
