Trezor Suite | Trezor Wallet: Desktop and Browser Access Explained

Understand your Trezor wallet workflow with a guide to desktop and browser access. Explore how Trezor Suite works alongside the hardware device.

Desktop app vs. web version

Trezor Suite comes in two flavors, and the difference matters more than it first appears.

AspectDesktop appWeb version
InstallationDownloaded and installed on your computerRuns in a browser, nothing to install
Exposure to browser risksLower — isolated from browser extensionsHigher — shares the browser environment
ConvenienceLaunch like any appJust open a page
Recommended forMost users, especially long-term holdersQuick checks, or machines you can't install on

The general recommendation is to use the desktop application. A dedicated program is less exposed to malicious browser extensions and to some categories of phishing than a web page is. Whichever you choose, the golden rule is the same: get it from the official source, never from a search ad or a link someone sent you. We cover exactly how on the Getting Trezor Suite page.
