Some phone ringtone tools accept iMelody files but not Nokia-style RTTTL, so an RTTTL tune must be converted before it can be transferred or edited on those devices. Both formats describe ringtone notes rather than storing recorded audio.
What RTTTL is
RTTTL (Ring Tone Text Transfer Language) is a plain-text format used mainly for monophonic mobile-phone ringtones. A file contains a tune name, default settings such as tempo and octave, and a sequence of notes and rests. Nokia ringtone composers and ringtone-editing tools commonly create or export RTTTL files.
What IMY is
IMY is the file extension for iMelody, a text-based ringtone format associated with Ericsson phones and compatible ringtone tools. It describes notes, timing, and optional playback cues; it does not contain sampled sound. Use it when a phone or editor specifically expects an iMelody ringtone.
How to convert RTTTL to IMY
Online on 101convert.com
- Open the RTTTL-to-IMY converter on 101convert.com and upload the RTTTL file.
- Choose the IMY output format and start the conversion.
- Download the converted file. Multiple files can be submitted as a batch; the page shows the per-file size limit.
Offline with desktop software
On Windows, PsmPlay supports ringtone formats including RTTTL and iMelody. Open the RTTTL file, select iMelody/IMY as the output format, then save or export the converted ringtone. Menu labels can differ between releases, so check the format list in the version you use before converting.
Compatibility and limitations
RTTTL and iMelody use different timing and feature conventions. A conversion can preserve the main melody while changing note lengths, octave handling, or unsupported rests and playback cues. Test the resulting IMY in the target phone or ringtone editor; these files are ringtone instructions, not general-purpose audio tracks.
