Thanks ngwe23. I did that before posting but wanted to find something that had been tried and tested.

Thank you but unfortunately my Bluetooth dongle no longer works on my WIN7 machine as I think I bought it when on XP.

Make sure both your computer and phone are on the same wifi network. Go to web.whatsapp.com on your computer. Scan the QR code with your phone.

Your PC will mirror what is on your phone. Download the picture you want on your PC

Why can't you just connect the phone to the PC via USB?

Plug phone into PC via USB cable -> double click on your device -> go to the WhatsApp folder -> open Media and choose the image you want to copy.

This advice is all convoluted so far.

Go to web.whatsapp.com on a desktop browser. Follow the very simple instructions to connect to your phone. Takes about a second. Then you have your WhatsApp on the PC. Just go to the image you want to save, click it to enlarge it and use the save function.

If plugging your phone into your PC and copying a picture off the device is convoluted, then maybe OP needs to learn basic PC skills first, which I doubt is the case.

Click on photo, click on "Share" (top right), then select Gmail app. E-mail photo to yourself. Simple, no?

This is a good one.

Pretty sure they don't need to be on the same network either.

They definitely don't. I've had my phone on mobile data accidentally many times with web.whatsapp.com working fine.

i don't how such a simple operation could be seen as convoluted

Sounds more convoluted than plugging in a USB cable and going to a folder and doing copy and paste.

You don't want your data to be used when syncing in any case

It's useful. When on my computer , I don't even look at my phone anymore, the PC remembers your credentials, and all messages come on your PC. You can respond, download, upload all using your computer

The instruction is to aim your phone's camera at the QR code on the screen. Not hard or time consuming. And you only do it for initial setup.
