How to Download and Set a Ringtone From Zedge on Android

Downloading Zedge ringtones on Android or setting a ringtone on Android is fairly straightforward.

Open the Zedge app and head to the Ringtones tab. Select a ringtone to view it. Then, click on the blue download button.

Select an option. Available options include:

Set Ringtone
Set Contact Ringtone
Set Alarm Sound
Set Notification
Save to Media Folder

Setting it as a contact ringtone allows you to immediately know when a certain contact, such as your boyfriend or girlfriend, is calling by differentiating their ringtone from everyone else’s.

After selecting one of those options, you will need to allow the necessary permissions so Zedge can set it as your ringtone or so you can download it to your media library.

How to Download Zedge Ringtones on iPhone

On an iPhone, downloading Zedge ringtones is a bit more complicated. You will have to first download the GarageBand app from the App Store, if you don’t already have it on your phone.

Then, go to Zedge, find a ringtone, and download it to your device’s media library. You will then have to use GarageBand as a “bridge” to set it as your ringtone by first importing it into GarageBand and then exporting it as a ringtone.

Once you have downloaded GarageBand and the ringtone, open GarageBand and follow these steps:

Select the default Keyboard mode.
Tap the lines icon in the top left corner to enter the Tracks view.
Tap the Loops icon in the top right corner.
Click on Files and select “Browse Items From the Files app.”
Click on Browse and select “On My iPhone.”
Select the Zedge folder and select the ringtone you want.
Tap on the ringtone and drag it into the Tracks view.
Click on the downwards-facing arrow in the top right and select My Songs, and then tap on Select.
Long-press on My Songs and click on the share icon.
Share it as a ringtone, set a name, and click on Export.
