Make a 30-second ringtone from any song for Android (MP3) or iPhone (M4R). How it works: Choose a song (MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, OGG or FLAC). Drag the selection to the part you want; it is limited to 30 seconds. Add fade in or fade out and preview it.
About the Ringtone Maker
Ringtone Maker turns your favourite part of a song into a phone ringtone. Choose the song, pick the best 30 seconds on the waveform, add a gentle fade, and download it as MP3 for Android or M4R, the AAC-based format iPhones use for ringtones.
Keeping the clip at 30 seconds or less makes sure it works as an iPhone ringtone and does not play the same intro over and over. Everything happens in your browser: the file never leaves your phone or computer, is not uploaded to any server and is not stored by News Appite.
You can also use the same clip as a notification or alarm tone; simply pick a shorter selection such as 5–10 seconds.
How to use the Ringtone Maker
- Choose a song (MP3, M4A, WAV, AAC, OGG or FLAC).
- Drag the selection to the part you want; it is limited to 30 seconds.
- Add fade in or fade out and preview it.
- Download MP3 (Android) or M4R (iPhone).
Tips & benchmarks
- Android: copy the MP3 to the Ringtones folder or pick it in Settings → Sound → Phone ringtone.
- iPhone: add the M4R using Finder (macOS) or iTunes/Apple Devices (Windows), or GarageBand on the phone, then choose it in Settings → Sounds.
- Start the clip on a strong beat or the chorus so the ringtone is recognisable in the first second.
- Use a fade-in of 1–2 seconds so the ringtone does not start abruptly at full volume.
