Can I use a song from Apple Music?

No. Apple Music downloads are copy-protected, and Apple doesn't allow them as ringtones. Use a song file you own (an MP3 or M4A in the Files app), a video, a voice memo, or record something in the app.

It's the iPhone's limit for ringtones. Ringtonius keeps every selection inside it, so a tone you save always works.

Does it upload my audio?

No. Trimming, fades and saving all happen on your iPhone. There is no account and no server that receives your sounds.

Your first 3 saved tones are free, and trimming, fades, every preview and three Originals are always free. After that, Pro saves unlimited tones and unlocks every effect, all 17 Originals, volume boost and fine-trim zoom: $14.99 once, $7.99 a year, or $1.99 a week.

The ringtone you actually want.

Take the best 30 seconds of a song file, a video or a voice memo. Fade it in, fade it out, and set it as your ringtone. Right on your iPhone, nothing uploaded.
