Actually, they are M4A files with a different extension, M4R. iMazing should back them up, and with iTunes, you should also be able to find them buried in your iTunes folder if you use iTunes.

However, ringtones are just mp3 files (with a special suffix..m4r) and limited length. So any of the aftermarket backup tools (e.g. IMazing for example) should have no problem backing up/extracting and/or transferring such files. Personally, I've never purchased a ringtone. I make my own with itunes (duplicate the song, trim to the right length (I don't recall the limit offhand, 90s perhaps), export it, rename it to *.m4r and then move it to phone ;> As such, I don't worry much about backing them up per se ... I've got the originals (but regular iphone backups preserve them anyway).

If so can someone walk me through how it's done as it's been ages since I've even purchased a ringtone let alone thought to archive it on my PC. Thanks in advance.
