iPhone ringtones are AAC audio in an MP4 container with the .m4r extension, limited to 40 seconds. This tool cuts the section you choose, encodes it as AAC and names the file correctly, so it drops straight into iTunes or the Finder.
To install: connect the iPhone, open the Finder (macOS) or iTunes (Windows), select the phone, and drag the .m4r file onto it. The tone appears under Settings, Sounds & Haptics, Ringtone.

Questions people ask
Why 40 seconds?
iOS rejects ringtones longer than 40 seconds. Text tones should be under 30 seconds.
How do I get the ringtone onto my iPhone without a computer?
Save the .m4r to Files, then use the GarageBand app: open it, import the file and share it as a ringtone. Apple does not allow installing tones directly from Safari.
Can I make an Android ringtone?
Android accepts MP3 and M4A of any length. Cut the section, choose MP3 and copy the file to the Ringtones folder on the phone.
