About ringtones
Most phones support ringtones of 25-40 seconds. This tool trims your audio to the chosen length from the start time you set, adds optional fade in and fade out, and can normalize loudness so the ringtone plays at a consistent volume. Export as MP3 (works on most devices) or M4A (preferred for iPhone; you can rename to .m4r and sync via iTunes or Finder).
Best practices
- Pick a 25-40 second segment that has a clear hook or chorus so the ringtone is recognizable.
- Use the start time to skip intros or quiet parts; begin where the main part of the song starts.
- Enable fade in (0.5-1 s) and fade out (1-1.5 s) so the ringtone doesn't start or end abruptly.
- Turn on loudness normalization so the ringtone isn't too quiet or too loud compared to system sounds.
- For iPhone: export as M4A and rename to .m4r, then add to your device via iTunes or Finder (Tones).
- Use 128 kbps for a good balance of quality and size; use 192 kbps if you want higher quality.
Common use cases
- Personal ringtone — Use a favorite part of a song (e.g. chorus) as your phone ringtone.

- iPhone / Android — Export as M4A for iPhone (or M4R) or MP3 for Android and most other phones.

Frequently asked questions
How do I use the ringtone on iPhone?
Export as M4A. You can rename the file to .m4r and add it via iTunes or Finder (Tones). Some apps accept M4A directly. Sync to your iPhone to set it as a ringtone.
What length should my ringtone be?
Most phones support 25-40 seconds. 30 seconds is a good default. Use the start time and duration to pick the best part of the song.
Is my audio secure?
Yes. All processing happens in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to any server.
Can I add fade in and fade out?
Yes. You can set fade in (0-2 seconds) and fade out (0-2 seconds) for a smooth start and end. This helps avoid a sudden loud beginning and gives a clean finish.
What is loudness normalization?
Loudness normalization adjusts the volume so your ringtone plays at a consistent level on your phone, similar to streaming standards. You can turn it on or off in the settings.
What audio formats can I use?
You can use any common audio file: MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, FLAC, and more. The tool loads the file in your browser and exports the ringtone as MP3 or M4A.
How do I pick the best part of the song?
Set the start time in seconds (e.g. 30 to skip the first 30 seconds) and choose the max duration (25, 30, or 40 seconds). The clip is taken from start time for that duration. Use the waveform to see the selection.
