How the RING Builder Works

GetRingtones lets you create ringtones directly in your browser. Choose a ringtone, play it at the speed that you want, and when you are happy with the result, download the ringtone or share it.

Open the RING Builder

Create your ringtone in three simple steps

1. Create Ringtone

Choose a ringtone from the library and use the Create Ringtone option to start making the version you want.

2. Play It at the Speed That You Want

Listen to your ringtone and adjust its playback speed until it sounds the way you want. Try different speeds before choosing your final version.

3. Download the Ringtone or Share It

When you are happy with your ringtone, download it to your device or use the sharing option to share it.

MP3 or WAV: which should you choose?

MP3

MP3 files are smaller and widely supported. For most people, MP3 is the easiest format to move to a phone and use as a ringtone.

WAV

WAV files are larger but preserve uncompressed audio. Choose WAV if you want the highest-quality source file or plan to edit the ringtone again later.

Tips for making a ringtone that works well

Keep the beginning recognizable. A ringtone should become identifiable almost immediately after the phone starts ringing.

Avoid making every sound equally loud. One clear lead sound usually works better than several sounds competing for attention.

Test on your actual phone. Laptop speakers, headphones and phone speakers can make the same ringtone sound very different.

Use repetition carefully. A short repeating pattern can be memorable, but excessive repetition can become tiring.

How to use your downloaded ringtone

Android

Download the MP3 or WAV file to your phone. On most Android phones, open Settings, go to Sound or Sound & vibration, choose Phone ringtone and select the downloaded file. The exact menu name varies by manufacturer and Android version.

iPhone

iPhone ringtone setup may require converting or importing the audio through an Apple-supported workflow such as GarageBand or another compatible method. The exact steps can vary by iOS version.

Troubleshooting

The ringtone is too quiet

Try increasing the louder frequency ranges with the equalizer, simplifying the mix, or choosing a sharper lead sound that cuts through background noise more clearly.

The downloaded file will not appear in ringtone settings

Check that the file finished downloading and is stored in a location your phone can access. Some Android phones use a dedicated Ringtones folder. iPhones use a different import process.

The ringtone sounds different on my phone

This is normal. Phone speakers have limited bass and emphasize different frequencies. Preview your ringtone on the actual device before deciding which version to keep.
