🔔Ringtone Maker

About this tool

Load a song, voice note or sound effect. Drag the slider or click the waveform to choose the section you want, set the length (up to 40 seconds) and the fades, then preview it. Save it as an MP3 for Android and most phones, or as a WAV.

Making a good ringtone

A ringtone should grab attention in the first second and loop gracefully, so pick a recognisable moment, usually the start of the chorus or a strong intro riff, rather than a quiet verse. Thirty seconds is the classic length. Calls rarely ring longer, and iPhones accept up to 40 seconds. A short fade-in (about 1 second) stops the tone from starting with a click or a blast, and a longer fade-out (about 2 seconds) makes the loop back to the start less jarring. On Android, copy the MP3 into the phone's Ringtones or Notifications folder, or open it in Files and choose "Set as ringtone". You can also assign it to one contact so you know who's calling without looking. iPhones need a .m4r file added through GarageBand on the phone (import the song, trim it, then Share → Ringtone) or through Finder or iTunes on a computer. Making the clip here first keeps that step quick. The audio is decoded in your browser, trimmed and faded, then encoded to MP3 at 192 kbps with the LAME encoder, all on your device. Honest limits: songs bought or streamed with DRM protection can't be opened, so use files you own or royalty-free sounds, and only use music you have the right to use. The audio trimmer, the audio fade tool and audio to MP3 are related.
