Zedge Wallpapers & Ringtones hands you ready-made sounds to browse, while MP3 Cutter and Ringtone Maker works from the music already on your phone. It comes from InShot Inc. and first appeared on August 30, 2018. Google Play lists it at 4.7 from 728.2 thousand ratings and over 50 million installs.
Turning a song you own into a ringtone
The problem is simple: a favorite track is rarely a usable ringtone as it stands. This app lets you pick a file from your phone or SD card, mark the part you want, and save it as a ringtone, alarm or notification sound. It can also assign a ringtone to an individual contact.
It finds audio files on the device automatically, and a built-in browser helps you search for songs.
Waveform trimming, merging and bitrate options
Cutting is done on a waveform you can zoom, with one tap to set the start or end point. The source description mentions millisecond-level precision and fade in and fade out effects. Supported formats include mp3, wav, ogg, m4a, aac and flac.
Beyond cutting, the app joins several clips in an order you choose and mixes tracks into one. You can rename the clip, convert its format, boost or reduce volume, and pick a bitrate such as 64, 128, 192 or 256 kb/s. A built-in player lets you preview clips, and a new cut can start while another conversion is still running.
Permissions and costs to check first
Nothing is charged up front, but ads appear and in-app purchases are offered. Three permissions are requested: writing to external storage, writing contacts and writing system settings. They match what a ringtone cutter does, which is saving trimmed clips and assigning a tone to a specific contact or as the phone's ringtone, but it is your call whether to grant them.
Android 7.0 or higher is required. This description covers version 2.3.6.3, updated on October 13, 2026, with a content rating of Everyone.
