I recently came across a relatively new freeware called ISO Workshop and when I visited the site to check it out further discovered two more useful offerings from the same developer. What appeals most about the GloryLogic freeware is that each provides a nice collection of tools all packaged into just one program.
All three scan 100% clean through Virus Total, so no problem there. However, you need to be aware that each comes bundled with the AVG Security Toolbar as an optional extra. I don’t see any problem with that, there is a clear option to decline, plus some users may even benefit from having the AVG Toolbar installed. Anyway, keep an eye out and if you don’t want the toolbar make sure to remove the checkmark from that option prior to clicking Next:
GloryLogic ISO Workshop
- Version 4.5
- Release Date: December 11, 2013
- Download Size: 4.9 MB
- Supports: Windows XP-8.1 (32 & 64)
- ISO Workshop Home Page
This is the one which initially caught my eye and is the most recently released of the three:
That’s a pretty neat collection of ISO tools, particularly the extraction and conversion tools, all accessible from within a single interface… cool!
GloryLogic PDF Shaper
- Version 2.1
- Release Date: November 28, 2013
- Download Size: 7.7 MB
- Supports: Windows XP-8.1 (32 & 64)
- PDF Shaper Home Page
Ditto. All these PDF tools are generally available individually from various developers but seldom do you see them all offered in a single freeware package.
GloryLogic Image Tuner
- Version 4.3
- Release Date: November 25, 2013
- Download Size: 4.6 MB
- Supports: Windows XP-8.1 (32 & 64)
- Image Tuner Home Page
Another group of useful tools, this time specifically designed for batch resizing, renaming, converting and watermarking images.
I haven’t gone into much detail regarding each software’s features, well none really, but the screenshots pretty much tell the story.
The one disappointment is that none of these freeware products are available as portable. Which, considering they are not the sorts of tools one would tend to use frequently or often, would have been preferable. However, if you work quite often with PDFs, ISOs, or images, then the GloryLogic collection is well worth consideration.

That’s a really useful set of tools Jim.
I like the ISO tools in particular.
