What is Ringtone Maker?

A ringtone editor that turns a song or clip into a phone-ready file of 30–40 seconds with a clean fade in and out.

How it works

You select the loop on the waveform; lengths are capped with presets for iPhone (30s) and Android (40s). The export cuts the range and applies ffmpeg afade envelopes, with an optional volume boost for quiet tracks.

  1. Load your file. Drag a file onto the drop zone or pick one from your device. It is read locally by the browser and never uploaded.
  2. Set the options. Adjust the handles, format, quality or threshold controls — the preview updates as you change them.
  3. Process and download. Run the tool, then download the result. Compare the reported before/after size for compressors and converters.

Examples

A 42 MB podcast episode → 9 MB MP3

Trim the intro, normalise to −16 LUFS, and export at 96 kbps mono — a typical interview lands around a fifth of the original size.

A phone video with the wrong orientation

Rotate 90° and the width/height swap in the output, so it plays upright in every player instead of relying on metadata flags.

Common mistakes

Expecting instant encoders

Video encoding runs in single-threaded WebAssembly, so a clip takes roughly its own length (or a little longer) to re-encode. Stream-copy operations are near-instant by comparison.

Re-encoding when a copy would do

Trimming, removing audio and joining same-codec clips can copy streams without re-encoding — pick the copy option when it is offered to avoid any quality loss.

Ignoring the first-load download

The media engine is about 31 MB and is fetched on first use, then cached. The first conversion on a connection is slower than every later one.

Frequently asked questions

What format should I export for an iPhone?

M4A/AAC. On iPhone, rename or convert the file to .m4r and drag it into the Tones section of Finder, or use GarageBand to share it as a ringtone.

Why does my phone ignore the file?

Most phones ignore ringtones longer than about 40 seconds, so keep the clip short. MP3 works directly on Android; iPhone needs M4R.

Can I boost a quiet song?

Yes — the volume boost slider applies up to +12 dB before encoding. Large boosts can clip, so check the result on your phone.
