About iPhone Ringtone Maker

iPhones use .m4r files for ringtones, which are AAC audio in an MPEG-4 container capped at about 40 seconds. This tool cuts the part of a song you choose, from your start time for 5 to 40 seconds, optionally adds a short fade in and out, and saves it as a ready-to-import M4R.

When it helps

  • Making a ringtone from the chorus or hook of your favourite song
  • Creating a custom text or alarm tone from a voice clip
  • Giving a contact their own ringtone

Tips

  • Enter the start as seconds (45) or minutes:seconds (0:45). Find the moment in a music player first.
  • Ringtones loop while the phone rings, so the fade option avoids a hard cut back to the start.
  • Import the .m4r with Finder on a Mac, iTunes on Windows, or GarageBand on the iPhone, then choose it in Settings > Sounds & Haptics.
  • Shorter tones, around 15 to 20 seconds, work well for text and alert sounds.
