Frequently asked questions

How long can an iPhone ringtone be?

Ringtones can be up to 40 seconds and alert tones up to 30 seconds. Longer M4R files are ignored by the iPhone.

How do I put the M4R on my iPhone?

Connect the iPhone to a Mac and drag the file onto it in Finder, or use Apple Devices or iTunes on Windows. On the iPhone alone, import the file into GarageBand and export it as a ringtone.

How do I set an M4R as my iPhone ringtone?

Download the M4R, connect your iPhone to a computer and drag the file onto the device in Finder (Mac) or iTunes (Windows). On the phone, choose it in Settings, Sounds and Haptics, Ringtone. Keep it to 40 seconds or less.

How long can an Android ringtone be?

Android accepts MP3 of any length, but 20 to 30 seconds is usual. Save the MP3 in your phone's Ringtones folder or pick it in the sound settings.

Does cutting lower the quality?

The cut part is re-encoded so the fades can be applied. At the default bitrates the difference is not audible.

Is my audio uploaded?

No. Cutting happens in your browser with FFmpeg in WebAssembly.

Can I cut several parts at once?

One part per run. Run the tool again for each section you need.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes, in Safari and Chrome. The handles are sized for touch.
