How to make an iPhone ringtone
- Upload an MP3, WAV, FLAC, M4A, AAC, OGG, or AIFF file.
- Set the start point and length (up to 30 seconds) of the clip you want.
- Download the .m4r file and add it to your iPhone.
Adding your ringtone to an iPhone
Once you have the .m4r file, you can use it with an iPhone ringtone workflow such as GarageBand. Apple's current instructions cover importing an audio file into GarageBand, trimming it to a ringtone, and exporting it as one. The exact steps can vary by iOS version, so it's worth checking Apple's current instructions for your specific device.
What .m4r actually is
An M4R file uses the .m4r extension associated with iPhone ringtones. It commonly contains AAC audio, similar to the audio found in an M4A file. The important part is that the file is prepared in a format and length that the iPhone ringtone workflow can use.
