Official guide to download Trezor Suite, install and securely initialize your hardware wallet.
This official start guide walks you through the essential steps to set up your Trezor device: download the Trezor Suite app, install the application (or use the web app), connect and initialize your device, record your recovery seed, and finally transfer assets to your wallet. Follow each step carefully and use only the official Trezor resources linked here.
Visit the official Trezor download at trezor.io/start and choose the Trezor Suite for desktop (recommended) or continue in the browser to use the web app. Download only from the official domain to avoid phishing and tampered installers.
If you downloaded the desktop Suite, run the installer and grant standard permissions. The web app is available immediately from your browser and does not require installation. For the best experience and hardware compatibility, Trezor recommends using the desktop app.
Plug in your Trezor device and follow the on-screen instructions to create a new wallet or restore an existing one. During initialization you will set a device PIN and be shown a recovery seed (seed words). Record the recovery seed on the supplied recovery card; do not store it digitally.
Important security note: Trezor devices generate the recovery seed on-device. Never enter your seed into a website, email, or phone app. Keep the recovery seed offline and private.
After initialization, verify that the device shows the same address displayed in Trezor Suite before sending funds. Set an optional passphrase (advanced users only) and consider using a hardware-backed backup (e.g., metal seed storage) for long-term protection.
When you are ready, follow the Suite’s guided flow to receive assets. Use the address shown by the device to confirm correctness. For migrating assets from exchanges, follow the official transfer guides to prevent mistakes and avoid fees surprises.
For detailed compatibility, supported coins and the latest downloads, always use the links on the official Trezor domain.
Do not:
Do: verify downloads at trezor.io/start, confirm device addresses on-screen, and store your seed offline (preferably on metal for long-term resilience).
