What is a .RTTTL file?

RTTTL is the simple text format behind classic monophonic Nokia ringtones.

Did you know
  • RTTTL let people type out and share ringtones as short lines of text.
  • RTTTL was devised by Nokia and ties into its Smart Messaging system, so monophonic tunes could be sent to handsets over SMS.
  • A ringtone is written as three colon-separated parts - a name, default note values, and the notes themselves with duration, pitch and octave.

Depth of analysis
.RTTTL is an identification-grade format: Analyser recognises it from its bytes and decodes the header metadata it carries, rather than opening it in a full viewer. Formats that do get a full viewer are marked "Full" on the formats page.
