You need to first make sure that the ringtone you downloaded is in m4r format. If not, you need to convert the song to m4r first. In this case, you can sort help from iTunes.
Step 1: Download iTunes on your computer. Make sure you have downloaded and installed the latest iTunes on your computer.
Step 2: Import the song to iTunes. Then, right-click the song and then choose the tab of "Song Info" from the drop-down menu. Hit on the "Options" tab to set the start and stop time to ensure that it is within 30 seconds. Hit "OK" button to continue.
Step 3: Select the loaded sound file in iTunes and click File >> Convert >> Create AAC Version. Wait for some seconds, the MP3 would be converted to AAC format.
Step 4: Go to the saving route and locate the AAC ringtone file. Next, right click on the AAC file and you can rename and change the file extension to .m4r.
Step 5: Add the ringtone to your iPhone. You can use iTunes to sync the ringtone to your iPhone, or use third party app like Leawo iTransfer to transfer ringtone from computer to iPhone directly.
