About M4R Files

An .m4r file is an audio file saved in the iPhone Ringtone (M4R) format, a variant of the AAC (Advanced Audio Coding) format developed by Apple for storing ringtones on iOS devices. It contains compressed audio that balances sound quality with a small file size, reducing the space it takes up on mobile devices.

Apple introduced the M4R format in 2007, allowing users to assign custom ringtones for calls, alarms, and notifications on iPhones. Users typically encounter the files in iTunes libraries or when downloading them from ringtone services; users may also create them from music files by converting or trimming audio to the appropriate length.
