Your ringtones

Ringtones you make are kept here, in this browser only, so you can download them again.

3 · Put it on your phone

  1. Save the ringtone as .m4r (40 seconds or shorter).
  2. Connect the iPhone to the computer with a cable and unlock it.
  3. Mac: open Finder and click the iPhone in the sidebar. Drag the .m4r file onto that window. Windows: open iTunes, click the phone icon, then drag the file onto Tones under On My Device.
  4. On the iPhone: Settings → Sounds & Haptics → Ringtone. Yours is at the top of the list.

Nothing appears? Check it's 40 seconds or less and ends in .m4r, then drag it again.

How this ringtone maker works

Open a song or a video and the site decodes it in your browser. It picks the loudest stretch as a first guess; move it to the part you want, set fades so it doesn't start or stop abruptly, and normalize so it's as loud as it can be without distorting. Then save it in the format your phone wants.

Is my music uploaded?

No. Decoding, editing and encoding all happen on your device, and the page can't send your audio anywhere (its security policy blocks it). Ringtones you make are kept in this browser's storage so you can download them again; delete them one at a time or all at once above.

Why 40 seconds for iPhone?

iPhone ringtones longer than 40 seconds aren't accepted as ringtones, so the iPhone setting caps the length there. Android has no such limit.

What's an .m4r file?

AAC audio in an MP4 file, the same as .m4a with a different ending that tells Finder and iTunes it's a ringtone. Where the browser has an AAC encoder (Chrome, Edge, Safari) it's used; otherwise (Firefox) this site's own, simpler AAC encoder makes the file. MP3s are made with LAME (lamejs); .ogg files are Opus, which plays on Android 10 and later.

Can I use any song?

Use music you have the right to use. A ringtone made from a song you bought is generally for your own phone, not for sharing or selling.
