Ringtone Maker for iPhone and Android

Make a ringtone from any song in your browser: pick 30 seconds, add a fade, save as M4R for iPhone or MP3 for Android. Free, nothing uploaded.

Runs in your browser. Your files are never uploaded. How it works

Ringtone Maker turns the best 30 seconds of a song into a ringtone: choose the part on the waveform, keep the gentle fade in and out, and save M4R for iPhone or MP3 for Android. The song stays on your device.

How to make a ringtone

  1. Choose a song (MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC) or a video. The first 30 seconds are selected, with a 1 s fade in and out.
  2. Drag across the waveform to the part you want, or type From and To, for example 0:48 and 1:18.
  3. Choose M4R (iPhone ringtone) or MP3 under Save as and click Make ringtone.
  4. Listen to it and download. The file is named after the song, with -ringtone added.

A ringtone can be at most 40 seconds; a longer selection is refused with a message. 20–30 seconds is plenty, because most calls are answered or go to voicemail before that.

Put the ringtone on an iPhone

An iPhone does not take ringtones from Safari downloads; it needs a computer, or GarageBand on the phone.

  • Mac: connect the iPhone with a cable, open Finder and select the iPhone in the sidebar. Drag the .m4r file onto the iPhone window. It is copied to the phone’s Tones.
  • Windows: connect the iPhone, open the Apple Devices app (or iTunes on older Windows) and drag the .m4r file onto the iPhone under your device.
  • Then on the iPhone go to Settings > Sounds & Haptics > Ringtone: the new ringtone is at the top of the list. To give one person their own ringtone, open the contact, tap Edit and Ringtone.

Put the ringtone on Android

  1. Save as MP3 and download it on the phone (or copy it from a computer into the Ringtones folder).
  2. Open Settings > Sound & vibration > Phone ringtone. Tap the plus or Add ringtone and pick the MP3 from Downloads.
  3. The exact menu names depend on the brand, but every Android phone can use an MP3 as a ringtone.

Tips for a good ringtone

  • Start on something recognisable: the first line of the chorus or a strong beat works better than a slow intro.
  • Keep the fades: a 1 s fade in stops the ringtone from starting with a jolt.
  • Notification sounds: select just 2–5 seconds for a message or alarm sound.
  • Quiet song? Make it louder first with the Volume Booster, then cut it here.

Frequently asked questions

How do I put the ringtone on my iPhone?

Save as M4R. On a Mac, open Finder, select your iPhone and drag the .m4r file onto it; on Windows, use iTunes or the Apple Devices app. Then choose it in Settings, Sounds & Haptics, Ringtone.

And on Android?

Save as MP3, copy it to the Ringtones folder (or open it in Files), then choose it in Settings, Sound, Phone ringtone.

How long can a ringtone be?

Up to 40 seconds on iPhone (30 s is usual). Android has no strict limit.

Is the song uploaded?

No. The audio is processed in your browser, on your device, and never sent anywhere.

Why can't my browser make an M4R?

M4R needs the AAC encoder, which some browsers do not have. Use Chrome, Edge or Safari on a computer, or save as MP3 for Android.
