DivX to M4R Converter
Processing entirely on your device — large files may take a moment.
DivX Video and iPhone Ringtone exist for different jobs: DivX is the MPEG-4 ASP profile that defined movie sharing and DVD-player compatibility in the 2000s — most "AVI movies" of the era are DivX. Converting MP3 to M4R is how you turn any song into a proper iPhone ringtone that syncs via Finder or iTunes.
This converter runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — your files never leave your device, nothing is uploaded, and there are no watermarks, sign-ups or queues. Drop in several files at once to convert them as a batch.

About the DivX format
DivX was the codec that made movie-sharing possible on a CD-R: MPEG-4 ASP at a bitrate that fit a 90-minute film into 700MB. The .divx container is DivX's own variant of AVI with chapter and menu extensions, and a decade of downloaded movies carry it.
Conversion to MP4 is straightforward — the MPEG-4 ASP video decodes through ffmpeg and re-encodes to H.264 at half the size for phones and smart TVs that never learned the DivX profile.
+ Strengths
- ✓Enormous installed base of content
- ✓Hardware players supported it for a decade
- ✓Decodes cleanly via ffmpeg
! Limitations
- −QPEL/GMC profiles break some decoders
- −MPEG-4 ASP artifacts at low bitrates
- −Superseded by H.264 everywhere
About the M4R format
M4R is simply iPhone ringtone packaging: an AAC audio file (same as M4A) capped at 40 seconds, named .m4r so iOS treats it as a ringtone instead of a song. GarageBand and Finder sync are the supported paths to install one; the audio itself is ordinary AAC.
Practical workflow: pick the 30–40 second chorus you want, convert to M4R, sync it to the phone, and set it in Sounds & Haptics. Nothing about the audio changes — the extension and the length limit are the entire format.
+ Strengths
- ✓The native iPhone ringtone format
- ✓Simple — it is AAC with a new name
! Limitations
- −Hard 40-second length cap
- −Installation requires sync or GarageBand

Frequently asked questions
Is this DivX to M4R converter really free?
Yes — completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily conversion limits. The site is supported by advertising.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The conversion runs entirely inside your browser using WebAssembly, so your files never leave your device — that is what makes it instant and private.
Does it work on Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android?
Yes. Anything with a modern browser works: Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS. No software installation is required.
Is there a file size limit for DivX to M4R?
The only limit is your device's memory, since nothing is uploaded. Files up to a few hundred megabytes work fine on a modern desktop browser; very large files simply take a little longer.
Why is video conversion slower than image conversion?
Every frame has to be decoded and re-encoded. This site runs that work on your own CPU via WebAssembly — nothing is uploaded, but a multi-minute video reasonably takes a few minutes. Images, by comparison, are single-frame jobs.
Does converting DivX to M4R re-encode my video?
Yes. The video is decoded and re-encoded with the settings chosen by the quality slider, which is what allows the format and size to change. For an archival copy, keep higher quality; for sharing, lower quality gives a much smaller file.
