Ringtone Maker

Turn any song, video or voice recording into a ringtone — free.

Ringtone Maker turns a sound you already have into a ringtone, alarm or alert tone for your iPhone. Start from a song in Files, pull the audio out of a video in your Photos library, record your own voice, or pick one of the built-in sound effects — then trim it to the part you actually want and export it.

iOS does not let any third-party app set your ringtone in one tap, so the app does the next best thing: it walks you through whichever installation route fits you, and builds the GarageBand project for you if that is the one you pick.

No account. No subscription. Nothing to buy — every editing feature is open to everyone, and a short ad covers each export.

Key Features

Import from Files: songs, voice memos, anything your iPhone can play.
Extract audio from video: pick any video in your Photos library and keep just the sound.
Record your own: capture your voice or the room with the microphone.
Built-in sound effects: notifications, alarms, transitions, game and sci-fi sounds, office cues, percussion, nature and ambient tones.
Materials library: keep what you import and reuse it across projects.

Editing

Visual waveform trimming: see the audio and cut exactly the section you want.
Split at the playhead: divide a clip and delete what you do not need.
Fades: ease the tone in and out.
Volume and speed: adjust level, and play back anywhere from 0.5x to 2x.
Snap, loop and undo: snap to the timeline, loop the preview, and undo or redo freely.

Setting It On Your iPhone

Open in GarageBand: the app assembles the GarageBand project so you only have to share it.
Use as Ringtone: straight from the iOS share sheet, on iOS 26 and later.
Mac sync: step-by-step instructions for syncing the file across with Finder.

Staying Organized

Every export is kept in the app and can be searched.
File ringtones under Ringtones, Alarm, or a category you create yourself.
Projects and audio stay on your device — your recordings and imports are never uploaded.

Why You’ll Love It

Most ringtone apps either bury the good part behind a paywall or hand you a file and leave you to work out the rest. Ringtone Maker does neither: the full editor is free, and the awkward last mile — actually getting the tone onto your phone — is the part it explains best.
