Creating Non-iPhone Ringtones

Why pay $2.99 to get a ringtone of a song you already own? If your phone supports MP3 or AAC playback, you can make your own ringtones using Fission!


With Fission, you can take MP3 or AAC files you already own and create a short ringtone from it. To do this, you'll open your audio file in Fission then select the audio you want for the ringtone. To find the exact audio you want, use the playback controls and adjust your selection by dragging the edges.

Once you have your audio selected, use the Crop function to trim out the unwanted audio. Play the audio to confirm it's what you want, and then save the audio out by clicking Save Audio. Be sure to save in a format compatible with your cell phone - MP3 will work on many new cell phones, as well as AAC. Once you have your file, transfer it to your cell phone and you're all set!
