When I was using an Android phone, I would change my ringtone whenever I found a song/background music I like. But after switching to iPhone, I spent half of the day trying to add custom ringtones to iPhone, but unfortunately without success. Apple doesn't allow you to create ringtones directly with songs saved on iPhone or computer. If you are still looking for a solution on how to set custom ringtones on iPhone, you have come to the right place. This article will guide you on how to make ringtones for iPhone in two ways.

How to Make Your Own Ringtone in 2 Ways

The most common way to add a ringtone to iPhone is to buy ringtones for iPhone from iTunes Store. As you need to pay for each ringtone in iTunes Store, I don't recommend this way in the article. The ways I recommend are to create ringtones with EaseUS Ringtone Editor and iTunes. The two ways will be introduced in detail in the following paragraphs.

Method 1. Make Your Own Ringtone with EaseUS Ringtone Editor

Method 2. How to Add Ringtones to iPhone Using iTunes

Besides purchasing a ringtone from iTunes Store, you can use iTunes to make ringtones for iPhone. Apple has some requirements for ringtone. It should be in .m4r format, in ACC coding, and within 40 seconds. When you make a custom ringtone with iTunes, you need a good amount of operations to convert a complete song in MP3/WAV to M4Ron your own. Check out the steps below for detailed guidance.

Step 1.Connect your iPhone to PC and launch iTunes. Click "File" >"Add File to Library..."to add the song you want to use.

Step 2.Right-click on the song’s name and choose "Song Info." Then click "Options" and cut the song into a 30-second clip by entering the start and stop times in the box. Click "OK" to complete the song cut.

Step 3.Click "Convert" > "Create ACC Version" in the "File" option to add the 30-second song clip to your "Library" > "Songs."

Step 4.After that, click "Show in Windows Explorer" and edit the file extension from .m4a to .m4r on your PC.

Step 5.Drag and drop the edited song from PC to your iPhone's "Tones." Now you have put the ringtone on iPhone.
