Tired of default ringtones? Whether you want a song, movie dialogue, or a funny sound, this guide will show you multiple ways to set a custom ringtone on Android in 2025—no root required!

Pro Tip: Android allows MP3, M4A, OGG, and WAV files (under 15MB for best performance).

## Method 1: Using the Files App (Easiest Way)

### Step 1: Download or Transfer Your Ringtone

Save your audio file (MP3, etc.) to your phone:

- From Google Drive, Dropbox, or email
- Via USB cable or Bluetooth
- From a ringtones website (like ours!)

### Step 2: Move File to the Ringtones Folder

Open Files by Google (or any file manager) → Navigate to:

- `Internal Storage > Ringtones` (create folder if it doesn’t exist)
- Or `Internal Storage > Media > Audio > Ringtones`

Copy/Paste your audio file here.

### Step 3: Set as Ringtone

Go to:

1. Settings > Sound & vibration > Phone ringtone
2. Select your custom tone from the list

Done! Your new ringtone is ready.

## Method 2: Using a Third-Party App (For More Control)

If the above method doesn’t work, try these apps:

### Option B: Ringtone Maker (Trim Audio)

1. Install Ringtone Maker
2. Select an audio file → Trim → Save as ringtone

## Method 3: For Samsung Phones (One UI 6.0+)

Samsung has a slightly different process:

### Step 1: Open Settings

Go to Settings > Sounds and vibration > Ringtone.

### Step 2: Add Custom Ringtone

Tap "+" or "Add" → Select your audio file → Adjust length if needed.

## Troubleshooting

### Why Can’t I Set a Custom Ringtone?

- File format not supported (Use MP3 or M4A)
- File in wrong folder (Must be in `/Ringtones`)
- Android restrictions (Some brands like Xiaomi need extra permissions)
