I want to make a ringtone from a song
Grab the best 30 seconds of a track, smooth the edges, and export a ringtone-ready clip.
To make a ringtone, trim a song down to the 20–30 second hook and add a short fade in and out so it starts and ends cleanly. Our Ringtone Maker and Audio Trimmer do this in your browser: pick the segment, fade the edges, export. The audio is never uploaded. Then set the file as your ringtone on your phone.

Ringtone Maker
Make a ringtone from any song in your browser. Drop an MP3, WAV, M4A or OGG, drag a selection over the waveform to grab the hook (up to ~40 seconds), add a smooth fade-in and fade-out, preview it, then download an MP3 or M4A/AAC. 100% private. Nothing is uploaded.
Audio Trimmer
Trim audio in your browser with a real waveform: drop an MP3, WAV, M4A or OGG, drag a selection to keep exactly the part you want, preview it, then download a lossless WAV or a compact MP3. Sample-accurate and 100% private. Nothing is uploaded.
Audio Fade In / Out
Add a smooth fade-in and fade-out to audio in your browser with a live waveform. Drop an MP3, WAV, M4A or OGG, set the fade lengths, watch the volume ramp painted right on the wave, preview it, then download a lossless WAV or a compact MP3. Sample-accurate and 100% private. Nothing is uploaded.
Audio to MP3
Turn any audio file into an MP3, right in your browser. Drop a recording or track, listen to it, choose how good you want the MP3 to sound, and download. No upload, no account, nothing leaves your device.
How to fix it
Follow these steps and you'll have it sorted in a couple of minutes.
- 1
Open the Ringtone Maker
Drop your song in. It's processed in your browser, the audio isn't uploaded.
- 2
Trim to the hook
Select the 20–30 seconds you want. Phone ringtones are usually capped around 30–40 seconds.
- 3
Add a fade
Apply a short fade in and out with Audio Fade so it doesn't start or stop abruptly.
- 4
Export and set it
Save the clip, then add it as a ringtone through your phone's settings or a syncing app.
- Making the clip too long: phones limit ringtone length, so keep it around 30 seconds.
- Cutting on a hard beat with no fade, so it clicks or pops at the loop point. Add a quick fade.
- Forgetting each phone has its own way to install a ringtone (and iPhone often expects a specific format/length).

Ran into one of these too? Here's the fix.
- I want to get the audio (MP3) out of a videoKeep only the sound (a lecture, a song, a podcast segment) as a clean MP3 you can play anywhere.

- My image file is too largePhone photos are often 3–8MB. Compress (and if needed resize) to hit a 100KB or 50KB upload limit while still looking clean.
