Ringtone Maker

Drop the song above, drag the selection to the part you want, keep iPhone selected and download the .m4r file. Keep it to 30 seconds if you will set it on the phone itself; only a Mac or PC sync takes up to 40. Then add it to your iPhone: on iOS 26 or later, open it in the Files app and tap Share › Use as Ringtone; on earlier versions, import it with GarageBand or drag it onto the iPhone in Finder or iTunes. Each way is spelled out step by step in the guide above.

Use this page as an iPhone ringtone maker right on the phone: make and download the ringtone in the browser, and it lands in Files › Downloads. On iOS 26 or later, open it there, tap Share and choose Use as Ringtone. On earlier versions, import the file into GarageBand and share the project as a Ringtone. Neither way needs a cable, a computer or iTunes, but both stop at 30 seconds, so trim it to 30 or less before you download.

In GarageBand on iPhone, open an Audio Recorder project, switch to the Tracks view, open the Loop Browser and pick the file from Files. Drag it onto the track, go back to My Songs, long-press the project and choose Share › Ringtone › Export. GarageBand shortens a ringtone over 30 seconds on export, so trimming the song here first to 30 seconds or less means you decide exactly where it starts and ends instead of letting GarageBand cut it.

Drop the MP3 above, keep iPhone selected and download. The part you picked is re-encoded as AAC audio in an MP4 container with the .m4r extension, which is all an M4R is. Renaming a file from MP3 to M4R does not work, because the audio inside is still MP3. The same works as an M4R converter for WAV, M4A and FLAC files.

On iPhone it depends on how the ringtone gets onto the phone: 30 seconds through the Files app on iOS 26 or GarageBand, 40 seconds when you sync it from Finder or iTunes. The ringtone maker stops the selection at 40 and tells you when it is past 30. Android has no fixed limit; this tool goes up to 60 seconds, which is longer than most phones ring before a call goes to voicemail. 30 seconds is a safe length for both.

Android plays MP3 files directly, so going from MP3 to ringtone needs no special format. Download the MP3 on the phone, or copy it over from a computer. Then open Settings › Sound & vibration › Phone ringtone and add it from your files — on Samsung phones it is Settings › Sounds and vibration › Ringtone and the + button. To give one person their own ringtone, open their contact, tap Edit and choose Ringtone.

Lacuna does not download from YouTube or any other site. If you already have the audio or video file on your device, and the right to use it, drop it in — MP4 video files work as well as MP3 in most browsers, and the ringtone maker uses their audio track.

No. Songs downloaded inside streaming apps are copy-protected and only play inside those apps, so no browser can read them. Use a file you own instead: a purchase from the iTunes Store, Bandcamp or Amazon, a CD you ripped, or music you made yourself.

It is free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many ringtones you make. There is nothing to install either: it is a ringtone maker online that works in any current browser on a phone or a computer.

No. The song is decoded, cut, previewed and encoded inside this browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server, and closing the tab leaves no copy behind.

Yes. If you are after a ringtone generator rather than a cutter, Lacuna's AI Jingle Generator writes a short original track from a description — a style, a mood, even a name to sing. Download it, bring it back here and cut the exact part you want on your phone.
