Heard something in a video and want it as your ringtone? Cut the exact piece — up to 30 seconds — and download it as an MP3 ready to install. Everything happens on your device, nothing is uploaded.
Tap to pick a video or audio file
screen recording, .mp4, .mp3, .m4a…1. Download the tono.mp3 file and save it in the Files app.
2. In Files, long-press the file → Share → Use as Ringtone.
3. Done! It's now active in Settings → Sounds & Haptics → Ringtone.
On an older iOS? The classic method is GarageBand: import the MP3, trim it to 30 seconds or less and export it as a ringtone.
If the sound lives in a TikTok, YouTube or WhatsApp video: play the video, record your screen from Control Center, and bring that recording here. Cut the part you want and turn it into your ringtone.
Note: Apple Music songs can't be set as ringtones, and screen recordings of apps like Spotify or Apple Music usually come out silent, because those apps block it. With regular videos and recordings it works perfectly.
