MP3 cutter and ringtone maker: how to make a ringtone

A ringtone is just a short audio clip, so this tool doubles as a ringtone maker. Here is how to get a good one:

  • Keep it about 30 seconds. That is long enough for most calls and works well on both Android and iPhone.
  • Start on the hook. Set the start right where the chorus or the most recognisable part begins, so you hear it immediately when the phone rings.
  • End on a pause. Since fade-out isn't available yet, choose an end point where the music naturally breathes, so the loop doesn't sound abrupt.
  • Use 192 kbps. Phone speakers don't benefit much from more, and the file stays small.

On most Android phones you can copy the MP3 to your phone and select it in the sound or ringtone settings. iPhones handle custom ringtones differently and usually need an extra step through a computer or a ringtone app, but the 30-second MP3 from this audio cutter is the right starting point.

Use it on Android, iPhone or PC – no app download

Many people search for an MP3 cutter download or an audio cutter app, but you don't need one. This page works in up-to-date Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox on computers, and in Chrome or Safari on phones. Open it, pick your song from your music folder, downloads or Files, and cut it right there. Nothing is installed, so there are no ads popping up inside an app and no storage taken on your phone.

Processing speed depends on your device. Short songs are cut in moments; very long recordings take longer on a phone than on a laptop.

Supported formats and output quality

MP3, M4A, WAV, OGG, OPUS and other audio your browser playsMP3128, 192 (default) or 320 kbps

Remember that cutting cannot improve sound quality. If your original song is a 128 kbps MP3, saving the clip at 320 kbps makes the file bigger but doesn't make it sound better. Matching the original or using 192 kbps is usually the sensible choice.

Private, free and without limits

Typical online MP3 cutters upload your song to a server and send it back. VidHaul does the cutting on your own device using the audio technology built into modern browsers. Nothing is sent anywhere, so private voice notes, interviews and unreleased tracks stay with you. It is completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit.

How do I make a ringtone from a song?

Cut the part you like, about 30 seconds long, and download it as MP3. On Android you can then pick the file in your sound settings; on iPhone ringtones need an extra step through a computer or a ringtone app.

Can I merge or join songs with this MP3 cutter?

Not yet. The tool cuts one part of one file at a time. Joining several songs together isn't available at the moment.

Can I add a fade-in or fade-out?

Fade effects aren't available yet. For a smoother ringtone, choose start and end points where the music is naturally quiet, such as the beginning of a line or the end of a chorus.

Which bitrate should I choose?

192 kbps is the default and sounds good for most music. Pick 320 kbps for the best quality or 128 kbps for a smaller file, such as a voice note. A higher bitrate can't add quality that the original file didn't have.

Is my audio uploaded to a server?

No. The audio cutter works entirely in your browser, so your songs and recordings never leave your device. That makes it safe for private voice memos and interviews too.
