Is the ringtone maker free?
Yes. Making a ringtone is completely free, with no signup and no watermark. The exported MP3 is ready to use right away.
Does this upload my audio to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser, so your audio file is trimmed and exported on your device without being uploaded.
What format does it export?
This version exports MP3 only, which keeps the ringtone workflow simple and widely compatible.
Can I add fade in and fade out?
Yes. Both fades are included so the ringtone starts and ends cleanly instead of cutting in or out abruptly.
Can I use a full-length track?
This page is tuned for short ringtone-style clips, so keeping the selected range short works best for the result.
How long should a ringtone be?
20 to 30 seconds. Long enough to ring out, short enough to loop cleanly, and inside the 30-second limit iOS imposes on custom ringtones. The tool caps clips at 45 seconds.
Why is there a 45-second limit?
Because a ringtone is heard in its first few seconds or not at all, and iOS caps custom ringtones at 30 seconds regardless. A longer clip is not a ringtone, it is a track.
Which part of the song should I use?
The hook, not the intro. A ringtone that opens with a long build-up will have finished ringing before the recognisable part ever plays.
Should I fade the ringtone?
Fade the end, always. A clip that stops dead sounds broken. Three hundred to five hundred milliseconds is enough to make the loop feel intentional.
Can I use this ringtone on my iPhone?
You will need to convert it to M4R and install it through your device's own process, which this tool does not do. It gives you the clip; the installation is device-specific.
