About Ringtone Maker
Ringtone Maker turns part of a song into a ringtone for iPhone or Android. When a song loads, the loudest stretch is selected automatically, which is often the chorus or the most recognizable part. You can move the selection on the waveform, type an exact start time, set the length and add a fade in and fade out of up to five seconds each.
For iPhone the ringtone is saved as an M4R file, the AAC-based format iPhones use for ringtones, with a length of up to 40 seconds. For Android you get an MP3 or OGG file of up to 60 seconds. An optional Make it loud setting raises the volume so the ringtone is easier to hear in a noisy place. After the export, the tool shows the steps to copy the file to your phone and select it in the sound settings.
This is useful when you want to make a ringtone from a song you own, a voice message, a recording of your kids or a sound effect, or simply convert an MP3 to M4R for an iPhone. The audio is cut and encoded in your browser, and the ringtone is saved straight to your device.
Frequently asked questions
How long can a ringtone be?
iPhones accept ringtones up to 40 seconds and text tones up to 30. Android has no strict limit, but the ringtone loops while the phone rings, so 20–30 seconds is plenty.
What is an M4R file?
The ringtone format of iPhones: AAC audio in an MPEG-4 file with the .m4r extension. Android uses ordinary MP3 or OGG files.
Is the song uploaded anywhere?
No. The ringtone is cut and encoded in your browser and saved straight to your device.
Can I make a ringtone from a video?
Yes. Drop a video file with sound, for example an MP4 or MOV, and the tool uses its audio track. Only the audio ends up in the ringtone.
