Saving photos and documents from WhatsApp to computer made easy

Following are the steps posted by Neurogadget to save WhatsApp media files to your PC:
1. Send the photo or document that you want to transfer via e-mail or Bluetooth, and then download as attachment, or search in the folder where all Bluetooth files are saved.
2. Save the files in a cloud storage, such as Dropbox, and then download to your PC.
3. Connect your phone to your computer via USB, and then transfer files like you would any other media files from your phone to your PC.
How to save WhatsApp media files from WhatsApp for Windows:
1. Click on the image or document you want to download. This will open another window where you will find an arrow pointing downward, which indicates a download function.
2. Click on the download arrow. This will bring up the file manager on your PC where you get to choose which folder to save media files.
You can choose to create a folder dedicated for downloaded WhatsApp photos and documents, or save them according to your preference, or how you organized your files. For instance, if you have a folder for all Word documents, you can save the document in the same location. As for images, you can store it in the pictures folder or the camera roll.
WhatsApp for PC doesn’t have a setting where you can set a default folder specifically for downloads. This means you will have to choose a location every time. The upside is that there’s no limit to the kind of files you can download from WhatsApp for PC, whether its photos, videos or MP3 files.
