About this option
iPhone ringtones use the M4R format and can be at most 30 seconds long. This page opens the ringtone maker set to a 30-second ringtone and M4R output, so you choose the best part of a song and download a file ready to add through Finder or GarageBand.
When to use it
- Using your favourite song's chorus as a ringtone
- Making a custom ringtone for a contact
- Creating a ringtone from a recording you own

- 2Drag the selection to the part you want and keep the fade on for a smooth start and end
- 3Create the ringtone and download the M4R file
- 4Add it to your iPhone using Finder on a Mac or iTunes on Windows
Frequently asked questions
How do I get the M4R onto my iPhone?
Connect the phone to a computer, open it in Finder or iTunes and drag the .m4r file in, then pick it under Settings → Sounds & Haptics → Ringtone.
Why is it limited to 30 seconds?
iOS treats audio longer than 30 seconds as a song rather than a ringtone, so the tool caps the selection at that length.
Can I use copyrighted songs?
Personal use of songs you own is normally fine; don't publish or distribute them.
