The default ringtones get old fast. Turning a favourite song into your ringtone is easy: pick the best few seconds, fade it in and out, and export it in the right format for your phone — all free securely, with no app to install.
Paste a link or load the track you want to turn into a ringtone.
Choose the start point and a length of 15, 30 or up to 40 seconds.
Turn on the fade for a smooth start and end, then choose MP3 or M4R.
Save the ringtone, ready to set on your phone.
iPhone or Android — which format?
Android happily uses MP3 files as ringtones, so that’s the simplest choice. iPhone uses the M4R format, which you set through iTunes/Finder or the GarageBand app. Pick the format that matches your phone before you export and you’ll skip a conversion step later.
Choosing the perfect clip
- The chorus or hook makes the most recognisable ringtone.
- Keep it 20–30 seconds — long enough to notice, short enough to not annoy.
- Start on a strong beat so it grabs attention instantly.
Tip: Want finer control or fades on a file you already have? The Audio Cutter lets you select any section on a waveform and export MP3 or WAV.
