Ringtone Maker:create ringtone

Ringtone Maker is an innovative app designed to transform your music files or personal recordings into custom ringtones, alarms, and notifications. Compatible with a wide array of audio formats such as MP3, FLAC, OGG, WAV, AAC(M4A)/MP4, 3GPP/AMR, and MIDI, this app allows you to snip the most appealing sections of your favorite songs and save them as personalized ringtones, alarms, or notification tones. Creating your own unique ringtones is both fast and easy, offering multiple methods to set start and end points: sliding arrows on the timeline, using the Start and End buttons to mark your chosen points, or simply entering specific time stamps. Beyond just a ringtone maker, this app serves as a versatile music editor, alarm tone creator, ringtone cutter, and notification tone maker.

Users may encounter an issue where newly downloaded music does not appear immediately. This is because Android's music database updates slowly. You can force an update by using the "Scan" feature within "Ringtone Maker". Additionally, songs from Google Play Music are hidden and inaccessible to other apps. A workaround is to use the Chrome browser on your phone, select the desktop site, download the desired song, and then use "Ringtone Maker" to find and edit it.

Regarding legal information, all ringtones and music downloads within the Ringtone Maker app are under public domain licenses and/or Creative Commons' licenses, with proper credits given within the app itself.
