Create iPhone Ringtones from YouTubeDo you know that you can create a ringtone for your iPhone from youtube videos? The step is quite simple, but there’s some application involved because you’ll need to do 2 conversions :

  1. Convert YouTube video to MP3
  2. Convert Mp3 file to “.m4r” extension.

1. Convert YouTube video to MP3

There’s some online application you can use to convert a Youtube video into an mp3 file. If you search for “convert youtube to mp3″ or “youtube to mp3 converter” term in search engines (eg. Google.com, Bing.com & Yahoo.com), you may find some very useful online tools from websites to convert youtube videos into mp3, and you can even download the converted file to your computer.

Now that you have an mp3 file converted from a Youtube video. What you’ll need to do next is to make sure that the song does not exceed 30 seconds limit as an iPhone ringtone. If the converted song have a length of more than 30 seconds, you may need to trim the mp3 file to shorten the timing. Fortunately, there’s some online tools to do this job as well. Search for the term “online mp3 editor” from search engines, and you’ll not get disappointed with the result. Trim the mp3 so that it does not exceed the time limit, and save a copy of it to your computer. After that, you can start to convert the mp3 file to an “.m4r” extension which is recognized by your iPhone as a ringtone.
