Frequently asked questions
- What format should I use for an iPhone ringtone?
- Export as M4R, which is the format iOS requires for custom ringtones. SnapOtter handles the conversion automatically. Your audio is processed locally and never sent to external servers.
- How long can a ringtone be?
- iOS limits ringtones to about 30 seconds while Android has no strict limit. SnapOtter lets you select any duration. All processing happens on your self-hosted instance.
- Can I add a fade effect to my ringtone?
- Yes. You can apply fade-in and fade-out effects so the ringtone starts and ends smoothly instead of cutting abruptly. Processing runs entirely on your own hardware.
