About the Ringtone Maker

The Ringtone Maker cuts a section of any song or recording into a phone-ready ringtone: pick the part, keep it under 30 seconds (the iPhone limit), add fades so it does not start or stop abruptly, and boost the loudness so it cuts through pocket and street noise.

Make alerts too — a 2–5 second notification sound works the same way.

How the Ringtone Maker works

The selection is trimmed with 2 ms edge fades, shaped by equal-power fade-in/out and, with ‘loud enough for a ring’ on, normalised to −10 LUFS with a true-peak limiter at −1 dBTP — louder than typical music, closer to how ringtones are mastered.

Frequently asked questions

How long can an iPhone ringtone be?

30 seconds.

Does Android accept MP3?

Yes, MP3 works for ringtones and notifications.

Will this automatically set as my ringtone?

No — it downloads an audio file. You'll still need to import it through your phone's own ringtone settings (this varies by iPhone vs Android and by OS version).

What format should I use?

MP3 is broadly compatible. Some iPhone ringtone workflows specifically expect an .m4r file — you may need a separate conversion step on your phone or computer for that specific format.
