My favourite methods chosen from the many comments on my previous video. Thanks to everyone for their suggestions.

I wanted to do everything on the Pi in Raspberry Pi OS 32 bit. Gnome disks and Pi tools also write the image, I prefer Pi imager. Raspi config can expand the partition, I prefer Gparted
You can copy from the sd card to another device with sd copier in Raspberry Pi OS. I want to save an image to be re-written to the storage of my choice whenever I choose.
