Notes

  • An Android phone can use an MP3 file as a ringtone. The setting differs by brand; please follow the instructions for your phone.
  • Audio and video files can be uploaded. Only the audio of the selected section is saved.
  • For M4R, anything beyond 30 seconds is not saved. According to Apple, a ringtone can be up to 30 seconds long.
  • With a fade-in or fade-out, the section is re-encoded. If no fade is added and the format is the same as the original, the original audio is copied without re-encoding.

Questions and answers

How long should a ringtone be?
A call is usually answered or diverted to voicemail within 30 seconds, so 20 to 30 seconds of the chorus is sufficient.
How do I select a section precisely?
Drag the two handles on the waveform, or enter the times in “Start” and “End” (for example, 1:05.3), then select “Play selection” to check.
Can the section be used as a phone ringtone?
Yes. For an iPhone, save it as M4R (up to 30 seconds). For an Android phone, save it as MP3.
