Free online RTX to WAV converter

RTX ringtone files contain note and timing instructions, so a phone or audio editor that accepts only recorded audio cannot use them directly. Convert one to WAV when you need to play, edit, or share the ringtone as a standard audio file.

What the RTX format is

In audio, RTX is a text-based ringtone format related to RTTTL (Ring Tone Text Transfer Language). It stores a melody’s pitches, durations, tempo, and related settings rather than sampled sound. RTX files are commonly encountered as mobile-phone ringtones; compatibility with a particular phone or ringtone editor depends on the RTX variant it supports.

What the WAV format is

WAV is a container commonly used for uncompressed PCM audio. Audio editors, media players, and many devices support it, making it useful when a ringtone must be edited or imported into software that cannot read ringtone instructions. WAV files are generally larger than compressed audio files.

How to convert RTX to WAV

Online on 101convert.com

1. Open the RTX-to-WAV converter page on 101convert.com and upload the RTX file.
2. Choose WAV as the output format, then start the conversion.
3. Download the converted WAV file. The page supports batch conversion; check its displayed per-file size limit before uploading.

Offline with desktop software

For a local conversion, first use an RTX/RTTTL-to-MIDI utility such as rtttl2midi to open the ringtone and export a MIDI file. Then render the MIDI with TiMidity++, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. For example, run timidity ringtone.mid -Ow -o ringtone.wav. TiMidity++ needs a configured instrument sound bank to render the notes.

Quality and limitations

The WAV contains a synthesized performance of the ringtone instructions, not a recovery of an original recording. The sound depends on the MIDI renderer and its instrument bank; RTX note data does not preserve a specific sampled instrument sound. If a utility cannot parse the file, it may use an unsupported RTX variant rather than a corrupt WAV setting.
