00:00how to use an MP3 song file as a ringtone on your iPhone.
00:03So it's actually really easy to use a music file
00:05as a ringtone on an iPhone running iOS 26 or above.
00:08But first we have to have the music file
00:10on our actual iPhone.
00:12So if you need a place to download free songs,
00:14what I recommend is pixabay.com.
00:17All you need to do once you get here
00:18is scroll to the right, select music,
00:20and then they have over 260,000 free music tracks
00:24that you can download for free
00:26by selecting that little download button.
00:28So once you get the song downloaded on your iPhone,
00:31open up the files app on your iPhone
00:33and just navigate to the actual song file.
00:35So as you can see, I have a song file here.
00:38Go ahead and long press that song file and then select share.
00:41Then at the bottom here, select use as ringtone.
00:44If it says that the song is too long, select okay.
00:47And if your song is too long,
00:49we need to use an audio trimmer to trim it down to 30 seconds,
00:52which is the maximum length of a song.
00:54So I recommend a tool that I created actually
00:56called convertresize.com.
00:59I created convertresize.com
01:01because I wanted to be able to recommend a tool
01:03that does not require you to upload your files to a server.
01:05All the actual tools on this website
01:07work directly on the browser on your phone.
01:09So once you get here, select the three lines in the top, right?
01:12Select audio and then audio trimmer.
01:14Now we just need to select this and find the actual song file.
01:19So I have mine right here.
01:21It'll then load it and I have a preset made for iPhone ringtones.
01:25So now all we need to do is just drag that portion wherever we want the ringtone to be.
01:30So you can select preview selection and it'll play it for you.
01:34So you can move it if you want it to be right there and start right there.
01:37You can also have it fade in and fade out.
01:39Once you're ready, select trim and download MP3.
01:42It's going to go ahead and create the MP3 where all we need to do is like download MP3 and
01:47then download.
01:48All right. So once you download the trimmed MP3, we just need to open up the files app again.
01:52Find the MP3 that it was downloaded.
01:54It's probably in your downloads folder.
01:55It'll add ringtone to the end of it so it's easier to find.
01:59So now just long press that file, select share and then select use as ringtone.
02:05It'll then bring you to the ringtone page.
02:07We'll see it is now checked and it is our ringtone on our iPhone.
02:11So now it's added as a ringtone that's available for other notifications.
02:14If you go back, you can use it for your text tone, voicemail, anything like that.
02:18So if I go in here and scroll all the way down to the bottom, you can see that music
02:22file right there.
