If you want to set a custom ringtone on an iPhone, the most difficult part is to add ringtones to your iPhone's ringtone list. To help you get a custom ringtone on your iPhone, Apple does provide two solutions for you: You can either purchase ringtones from the iTunes Store or make your own ringtone using iTunes.
However, given that you need to pay for every ringtone from the iTunes Store and the songs available in the iTunes Store are quite limited, you may prefer to create ringtones in iTunes to make any song your ringtone. Indeed, compared with purchasing tones from the iTunes Store, making ringtones on iTunes allows you to create and add ringtones to your iPhone for free. Besides, you can use songs in your iTunes library or on your PC, which enables you to make any song a ringtone.
If iTunes is your choice, follow the detailed steps below to learn how to make a ringtone in iTunes. If you think these steps are too complicated, don't worry, an easy way for you to add ringtones to your iPhone without iTunes is also provided.
To create a ringtone for an iPhone on your own in iTunes, there are many details you need to pay attention to. Thus, follow the guide strictly so that you can make a ringtone in iTunes successfully.
To make ringtones on iTunes:
Step 1. Connect your iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes.
Step 2. Click the "Device" button, go to "Summary," and check the option "Manually manage music and videos."
Step 3. Click the "Back" button and go to "Songs" > "Library."
Step 4. Right-click the target song and choose "Song Info." In the new window, tap the "Options" tab. (If necessary, go to "File" > "Add File to Library" to add the song to your iTunes library first.)
Step 5. Check the "Start" and "Stop" options and set the starting/stopping points of the ringtone.
Step 6. Go back to iTunes library, select the original song, then tap "File" > "Convert" > "Create AAC Version." Afterward, you will see the reduced version of the song.
Step 7. Right-click the shortened version and choose "Show in Windows Explorer."
Step 8. Copy and paste the song to your desktop and change the extension from .m4a to .m4r.
Step 9. Now go back to the iTunes Library and delete the shortened version of the song: right-click the song, choose "Delete from Library" > "Delete Song" > "Move to Recycle Bin."
Step 10. Tap the "Tones" tab, drag and drop the ringtone from desktop to iTunes.
Step 11. Wait for iTunes to sync the ringtone to your iPhone.
After syncing the ringtone to your iPhone, you can now go to the Settings app to set it as your ringtone or assign it to a specific contact.
