How to Extract Audio from a Video for a Ringtone

Steps

1. In Ringtone Genius, choose to extract audio from a video.
2. Pick the video from your Photos library.
3. The audio lands on the timeline.
4. Trim to the moment you want — a line, a laugh, a beat.
5. Export it as a ringtone-ready M4A.

Why it works this way

Some of the best ringtone material isn’t a song — it’s a clip: a kid’s laugh, a memorable line, a moment you filmed. Extracting the audio from a Photos video turns that into editable sound you can trim like any other clip, so a personal video becomes a personal ringtone.

Tips & edge cases

• Personal videos make the most memorable ringtones.
• Trim tightly to the exact moment after extracting.
• Use audio you have the rights to turn into a ringtone.
