Smartphones that add ringtone to iPhone aren’t something most people think about until they hear one on their phone and want to change it right away.

You may use any song or sound to make an arresting ringtone, and you can even attach tones to individual people so you can tell who is contacting you by the ring. Keep in mind that ringtones are limited to 30 seconds in length. You can use audio from the Voice Memos app as personalised ringtones in addition to music.

We’ve all had the add ringtone to iPhone problem when no matter how many tones you have on your iPhone, none of them sound exactly right. Perhaps you’d like to hear the theme song for your favourite fictional detective or some dialogue from your favourite television show. Perhaps you’d prefer to listen to a specific piece of music. It’s no problem. It’s simple to turn an audio file into an iPhone ringtone if you have one.

The only thing you’ll need is the music app (add ringtone to iPhone on older Macs and on Windows PCs). Before we begin, make sure the audio file you’ll be using is (a) on your computer and (b) not an Apple Music track—that is, a song you’re streaming via Apple Music as part of your membership. You won’t be able to convert them on Apple.

Important Tips To Add Ringtone to iPhone

A few things to keep in mind when making tunes add ringtone to iphone:

1. As a rule, only.m4r files can be used as ringtones on iOS. GarageBand will convert them to the proper format for you. However, there are several software available to convert your audio file to the m4r format, such as zamzar.com and audio.online-convert.com.
2.  Ringtones should last at least 30 seconds.
3.  By renaming the file extension, you can convert.m4a to.m4r.
The file for the custom ringtone must be saved in the Files app.

Create a ringtone using Apple Music or iTunes

Which operating system your Mac runs determines whether you utilize iTunes or Music. You’ll need iPhone 5s if you’re on MacOS High Sierra or earlier, or if you’re on a Windows PC. Music will be used starting with macOS Catalina.

Before you begin, make sure that all of your iPhone 5s software is up to date by checking for updates to both your operating system and iTunes or Music. Click iTunes in the application toolbar and select Check for Updates from the resulting drop-down menu on macOS High Sierra or earlier to check. If you’re using Windows 10, go to the Help menu bar below the playback buttons and pick Check for Updates near the bottom of the resulting drop-down list.

Launch the App Store app and select Updates from the App Store toolbar if you’re using macOS Catalina or later. If necessary, use the Update button to download and install the most recent version. Depending on how old your music is, you may need to remove the digital rights management (DRM) protection first before using it as a ringtone. Also, make sure the song you want to listen to has been downloaded to your Mac. If your song has a download icon next to it, it means it is stored in the cloud; if it is, click to download it to your hard drive.

The procedure of making ringtones in iTunes and Music is the same, but where you put them depends on which MacOS you’re using. Despite the fact that the ringtone maximum is 30 seconds, with MacOS Catalina or later, it may be recommended to keep it to 29 seconds or less for the best effects.

Make Custom Ringtone for iPhone Using iTunes or Music App

If you are using a desktop with Windows or macOS Mojave and earlier, use add ringtone to iphone 5, or consider using Music App for macOS Catalina and later. In either scenario, the steps are identical.

1. Inside the Music app or iTunes, locate the song of which you wish to create a ringtone. It can be a purchased track from the iTunes store or downloaded from elsewhere. Please note that Apple Music songs are DRM-protected and can not be used to create a ringtone.
2. Right-click on the song and select Get Info. In iTunes for Windows, it is called Song Info.
3. Choose the Options tab. Check the box for ‘start‘ and ‘stop‘ and enter the song’s desired segment. This will be the starting point and endpoint of your ringtone. Make sure it does not exceed 40 seconds. Finally, click on ‘OK.’
   Important: The time duration between ‘start’ and ‘stop’ must strictly be up to 40 seconds. If it is more than this, the ringtone won’t be reflected. Further, if you plan to use this as an alert tone for messages, emails, etc. then the duration must be 30 seconds or less.
4. Click to select the song. Now, from the menu bar, click on File → Convert → Create AAC Version. This new version will have the same name as the original song. However, its duration will be less than 40 or 30 seconds (as chosen by you).
5. Right-click on this new version of the song and select Show in Finder. On Windows PC, click on Show in Windows Explorer.
6. iPhone recognizes only .m4r as a ringtone. So, we will have to rename this audio file’s extension. To do this, right-click on the file and choose Rename. Change .m4a to .m4r → From the popup, click on Use .m4r. You have successfully created the ringtone. Now, we need to transfer it to the iPhone.
7. Use a Lightning cable to connect your iPhone with the computer. On macOS Catalina and later, open Finder, and from the left sidebar, click on your device’s name. Click on Trust. Now unlock your iPhone and enter its passcode. To ‘Trust’ on Windows PC and older Macs, open iTunes. Click Continue. After that, unlock your iPhone and enter its passcode.
8. From the General tab inside Finder or iTunes, check the box to Manually manage music, movies, and TV shows. Click on Apply.
9. Drag the .m4r ringtone file on the iPhone’s sync window inside Finder or Music app. In iTunes, click on Tones under ‘On My Device’ and drag the file here. Now, let us see how to set this song as your ringtone on the iPhone.
