How do I turn YouTube videos into ringtones?

Answered by Antonio Sutton

To turn YouTube videos into ringtones, there are multiple methods you can follow. In this response, I’ll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this using two different approaches.

Method 1: Using a Website or Online Tool

1. Find the YouTube video: Go to YouTube and search for the video from which you want to create a ringtone. Once you find the video, copy its URL.

2. Choose an online tool: There are various websites and online tools available that allow you to extract audio from YouTube videos. Some popular options include Audio Cutter Online, Online Video Converter, and YTMP3.

3. Paste the YouTube link: Open your preferred online tool and paste the YouTube video link in the appropriate field. Make sure to double-check that you’ve copied the correct URL.

4. Extract the audio: Once you’ve pasted the link, the online tool will typically provide options for editing or cutting the audio. Use the provided tools to select the specific part of the video you want as your ringtone. You can usually preview the audio before finalizing the selection.

5. Download the audio: After selecting the desired portion, proceed to download the extracted audio file in a compatible format such as MP3 or WAV.

6. Transfer to your Android device: Connect your Android device to your computer using a USB cable. Locate the downloaded audio file on your computer and copy it to your device’s internal storage or SD card in the “Ringtones” folder.

7. Set the ringtone: On your Android device, go to Settings > Sound > Phone ringtone (or a similar menu option). You should now see the extracted audio file listed among the available ringtones. Select it and save your changes.

Method 2: Using a Smartphone App

1. Install a YouTube to MP3 converter app: Visit your device’s app store (Google Play Store for Android or App Store for iOS) and search for apps that convert YouTube videos to MP3 files. Some popular options for Android include TubeMate, Snaptube, and NewPipe. For iOS, you can try apps like Musi or Documents by Readdle.

2. Download and convert the video: Open the YouTube app and find the video you want to use as a ringtone. Tap the share button and select the YouTube to MP3 converter app you installed. The app will then convert the video into an audio file.

3. Edit and save the audio file: Once the conversion process is complete, the app should allow you to edit the audio by selecting a specific portion or trimming it. Follow the app’s instructions to make the necessary edits and save the audio file.

4. Set the ringtone: Locate the saved audio file in your device’s storage. Depending on the app and device, it may be saved in a specific folder or in the app itself. Once you find the file, select it and set it as your default ringtone in your device’s settings.

Remember to respect copyright laws and only use YouTube videos that you have the right to convert into ringtones.
