What audio format will I get?

The tool exports MP3 files, which are compatible with both Android and iPhone ringtone settings.

How long should a ringtone clip be?

Most phones accept ringtones between 15 and 40 seconds. Trim the extracted audio to that range for the best result.

Can I set the audio as a notification sound too?

Yes. The same MP3 file can be assigned as a notification tone, alarm, or ringtone depending on your phone's settings.

Do I need to download the video first?

Not necessarily. You can jump straight to extracting the audio if you already know which Reel you want. Downloading the video is helpful for previewing the exact moment.

Is there a limit on how many ringtones I can create?

No. You can extract audio from as many Reels as you like and build a full collection of custom ringtones.

Can I create a ringtone from a Reel entirely on my phone?

Yes. Extract the audio in your mobile browser, trim it with a free audio trimming app on your phone, then set it as your ringtone through your phone's settings.

Does this require any paid apps or subscriptions?

No. ReelTools is free for audio extraction. Free audio trimming apps are available on both Android (Ringtone Maker) and iOS (GarageBand) for cutting to the right length.

Will the ringtone sound good through my phone's speaker?

Yes. Phone speakers are small and play at relatively low volume, so the MP3 quality from ReelTools (128 kbps) sounds perfectly clear as a ringtone or notification sound.
