Follow the steps given below to get your desired ringtone for your iPhone:

Launch iTunes on your Computer/Mac.
Make sure, you're on Songs option under Music category.
Now, right click the song that you want to set ringtone in iPhone. [Make sure you have a song synced from your Computer/Mac. This method doesn't work for Apple Music Subscribers. To add Music to iPhone manually, you can follow this guide. 'How to Transfer Music from Computer to iPhone!']
Select Song Info.
As soon as you select it, A window will appear. Select Options.
Here, select the checkboxes next to Start and Stop timings of the song.
Now change the song length. The length of the song should be 30 seconds maximum. If it is more that 30 seconds, you won't be able to set it as a ringtone. Apple doesn't allow that. So now, change the Start and Stop time to make the song length maximum 30 seconds.
When you're done setting up the timings, press OK.
Now, keeping the song selected, head over to File option on the main menu bar.
Select Convert and hit Create AAC Version. [In case, if you don't find the Create AAC version option, use the CONTACT FORM on the website to contact me, I'll give you the solution.]

Because, this AAC version may create an issue while dragging the ringtone into iTunes in the later stage of this article.]

Now go and hit the Sync button located at the bottom right hand corner of the iTunes window.
