Did you think only Sikhs wore turbans ? Then Turbanizer will bust that myth for you and turbanize you – means make you wear your favorite turban ! Yes, Turbanizer is one of those fun image tools available online which lets you modify your image and puts a turban on your head. You can upload your photo from your computer or from sites like Facebook and flickr and then resize it through a slider and get the best suited turban from a good collection of fancy turbans.

You should make sure that your photo has your face facing the front and it’s not greater than 2 MB in size. After you upload it , it gives you the option to increase the closeup of your face through a horizontal slider. Then you can select a turban from the right hand side menu and resize the turban too, using a separate slider so that it fits your head. In the screenshot below, I got a turban which Turbanizer calls the ‘ Manmohan Turban ‘ meaning the one worn by the Indian prime minister Dr. Manmohan Singh.

Overall, it’s a nice fun tool to play around with.
