About the Ringtone Maker

The Ringtone Maker cuts any song into a phone-ready ringtone. Pick the start time and length, add optional fades so the tone begins and ends smoothly, and export in the right format for your phone: M4R (AAC) for iPhone or MP3 for Android.

iPhone ringtones must be 30 seconds or shorter and use the .m4r extension — the tool enforces both automatically. Android is more flexible, accepting MP3 files up to 40 seconds here. Both presets encode at 128 kbps, which is plenty for a phone speaker while keeping the file tiny.

The trimming and encoding run 100% locally in your browser using WebAssembly ffmpeg. Your music is never uploaded, and you can cut as many ringtones as you like for free.

Frequently asked questions

How do I put an M4R ringtone on my iPhone?

Connect the iPhone to your computer, open Finder (macOS) or iTunes (Windows), and drag the .m4r file onto the device. It then appears under Settings → Sounds & Haptics → Ringtone. No jailbreak or third-party app is needed.

Why is the iPhone ringtone limited to 30 seconds?

iOS only accepts ringtones up to 30 seconds long — longer M4R files simply will not show up in the ringtone list. The tool caps the iPhone preset at 30 seconds so the tone always installs correctly.

How do I set an MP3 as a ringtone on Android?

Copy the MP3 to your phone (USB, cloud drive or messaging it to yourself), then choose it under Settings → Sound → Ringtone, or set it directly from a file manager. Most Android versions can use any MP3 on the device.

What part of a song makes the best ringtone?

The chorus or hook usually works best — it is recognizable within the first two seconds, which matters because most calls are answered before the tone finishes. Adding a short fade-in prevents a jarring start.

Is my music uploaded anywhere?

No. Cutting and encoding happen entirely in your browser using WebAssembly ffmpeg. The song never leaves your device.
