If you use a cell phone, you’ve probably heard of Ringtones. Ringtones are audio or video recordings of sounds that can be used on your phone to alert you to incoming calls. Unlike phone calls, these sounds are not played in the background, but instead, play randomly when you receive a call. Originally, there were only a few preset sounds available, but that changed when Vesku Paananen came up with a way to customize the sound of an incoming call.

InShot is an app that lets you create ringtones from many different audio files. You can even get a free ringtone from InShot if you watch a video ad. The app has three editing tools, including MP3 Cutter, which lets you cut or trim any audio and save it as a ringtone. If you’re unsure of the length of the audio, you can use the app’s built-in file browser to find it.

There are many other ringtones–including many that are free to download. You can choose from a wide range of genres and download your favorites. Tones7 has a handy preview function that lets you listen to ringtones before downloading them. You can choose to download tones as MP3 for Android phones or M4R for iPhones. While you can directly download ringtones to Android, you must use iTunes to transfer them to your iPhone.

Once you’ve finished editing the file, you’re ready to add a new ringtone to your phone. Downloading your ringtones can be very helpful when your iPhone isn’t online, or when you want to add them to your overall music library. iTunes can also help you find the perfect ringtone for your iPhone. iTunes has tons of ringtones that you can browse and purchase. Whether you like classical music or pop music, iTunes has thousands of songs to choose from.
