Well, I'm sorry bro, but as far as I know, you can only add pictures to contacts and cannot save them back. Why don't you just take another picture?
Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks, hope that helps

I rarely see her at the moment and it was just a really cute p pic

As above post says, i don't think there is a way, unless you were able to get the old sdcard that was in your phone and the picture would be in the DCIM folder of that.
If you go to your gmail account on a computer and view your contacts you can save a scaled down version of the picture, but it is the same resolution of the picture you currently can see on your phone..

I found an idea. You should download program from Google Play called "Save Contact photo" then you will see all your contacts there and you can share those contact photos via Bluetooth(should have another phone for that!). And then you can see that photo in another phone's gallery, so you can easily transfer it via Facebook or Whatsapp.

The best solution
Ask your GF to remove her profile picture on WhatsApp, then after she removes the pic, Your phone will show your contact picture as the WhatsApp profile picture, go ahead and save the picture.

Google Play app "Save Contact Photo"
MrMatas1 — hey do you happen to remember the exact name of that app? I cannot find it on Play Store— It's of course possible it's never been updated in 2 years, so isn't showing up. Would you mind taking a look and report back? It sounds like a great app. Thank you!

-optional? - sync with google
-login to gmail
-select contacts on the right
-right click on the page, select view source
-ctrl + f, search the name of the pearson whose picture you want to save. Or search for jpg, should be 6th or so link.
-copy paste link in another window in browser. Address should be something like: lh5.googleusercontent.com/.... Number is not necessarily 5.

Hey man is there any possible way we could add features to your app man .... Like Selecting all contacts and downloading them also maybe away of syncing them back to contacts???
Maybe ??
