I have an image called arrowWhite. I want to colour this image to black.
func attachDropDownArrow() -> NSMutableAttributedString {
let image:UIImage = UIImage(named: "arrowWhite.png")!
let attachment = NSTextAttachment()
attachment.image = image
attachment.bounds = CGRectMake(2.25, 2, attachment.image!.size.width - 2.25, attachment.image!.size.height - 2.25)
let attachmentString = NSAttributedString(attachment: attachment)
let myString = NSMutableAttributedString(string: NSString(format: "%#", self.privacyOptions[selectedPickerRow]) as String)
myString.appendAttributedString(attachmentString)
return myString
}
I want to get this image in blackColour.
tintColor is not working...
Swift 4 and 5
extension UIImageView {
func setImageColor(color: UIColor) {
let templateImage = self.image?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
self.image = templateImage
self.tintColor = color
}
}
Call like this:
let imageView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "your_image_name"))
imageView.setImageColor(color: UIColor.purple)
Alternativ
For Swift 3, 4 or 5
extension UIImage {
func maskWithColor(color: UIColor) -> UIImage? {
let maskImage = cgImage!
let width = size.width
let height = size.height
let bounds = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: width, height: height)
let colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB()
let bitmapInfo = CGBitmapInfo(rawValue: CGImageAlphaInfo.premultipliedLast.rawValue)
let context = CGContext(data: nil, width: Int(width), height: Int(height), bitsPerComponent: 8, bytesPerRow: 0, space: colorSpace, bitmapInfo: bitmapInfo.rawValue)!
context.clip(to: bounds, mask: maskImage)
context.setFillColor(color.cgColor)
context.fill(bounds)
if let cgImage = context.makeImage() {
let coloredImage = UIImage(cgImage: cgImage)
return coloredImage
} else {
return nil
}
}
}
For Swift 2.3
extension UIImage {
func maskWithColor(color: UIColor) -> UIImage? {
let maskImage = self.CGImage
let width = self.size.width
let height = self.size.height
let bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height)
let colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB()
let bitmapInfo = CGBitmapInfo(rawValue: CGImageAlphaInfo.PremultipliedLast.rawValue)
let bitmapContext = CGBitmapContextCreate(nil, Int(width), Int(height), 8, 0, colorSpace, bitmapInfo.rawValue) //needs rawValue of bitmapInfo
CGContextClipToMask(bitmapContext, bounds, maskImage)
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(bitmapContext, color.CGColor)
CGContextFillRect(bitmapContext, bounds)
//is it nil?
if let cImage = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(bitmapContext) {
let coloredImage = UIImage(CGImage: cImage)
return coloredImage
} else {
return nil
}
}
}
Call like this:
let image = UIImage(named: "your_image_name")
testImage.image = image?.maskWithColor(color: UIColor.blue)
There's a built in method to obtain a UIImage that is automatically rendered in template mode. This uses a view's tintColor to color the image:
let templateImage = originalImage.imageWithRenderingMode(UIImageRenderingModeAlwaysTemplate)
myImageView.image = templateImage
myImageView.tintColor = UIColor.orangeColor()
First you have to change the rendering property of the image to "Template Image" in the .xcassets folder.
You can then just change the tint color property of the instance of your UIImageView like so:
imageView.tintColor = UIColor.whiteColor()
I ended up with this because other answers either lose resolution or work with UIImageView, not UIImage, or contain unnecessary actions:
Swift 3
extension UIImage {
public func mask(with color: UIColor) -> UIImage {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, self.scale)
let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!
let rect = CGRect(origin: CGPoint.zero, size: size)
color.setFill()
self.draw(in: rect)
context.setBlendMode(.sourceIn)
context.fill(rect)
let resultImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return resultImage
}
}
This function uses core graphics to achieve this.
func overlayImage(color: UIColor) -> UIImage {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, UIScreen.main.scale)
let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
color.setFill()
context!.translateBy(x: 0, y: self.size.height)
context!.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
context!.setBlendMode(CGBlendMode.colorBurn)
let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.size.width, height: self.size.height)
context!.draw(self.cgImage!, in: rect)
context!.setBlendMode(CGBlendMode.sourceIn)
context!.addRect(rect)
context!.drawPath(using: CGPathDrawingMode.fill)
let coloredImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return coloredImage
}
For swift 4.2 to change UIImage color as you want (solid color)
extension UIImage {
func imageWithColor(color: UIColor) -> UIImage {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, self.scale)
color.setFill()
let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
context?.translateBy(x: 0, y: self.size.height)
context?.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
context?.setBlendMode(CGBlendMode.normal)
let rect = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: CGSize(width: self.size.width, height: self.size.height))
context?.clip(to: rect, mask: self.cgImage!)
context?.fill(rect)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage!
}
}
How to use
self.imgVw.image = UIImage(named: "testImage")?.imageWithColor(UIColor.red)
I found the solution by H R to be most helpful but adapted it slightly for Swift 3
extension UIImage {
func maskWithColor( color:UIColor) -> UIImage {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, UIScreen.main.scale)
let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!
color.setFill()
context.translateBy(x: 0, y: self.size.height)
context.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
let rect = CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: self.size.width, height: self.size.height)
context.draw(self.cgImage!, in: rect)
context.setBlendMode(CGBlendMode.sourceIn)
context.addRect(rect)
context.drawPath(using: CGPathDrawingMode.fill)
let coloredImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return coloredImage!
}
}
This takes into consideration scale and also does not produce a lower res image like some other solutions.
Usage :
image = image.maskWithColor(color: .green )
Create an extension on UIImage:
/// UIImage Extensions
extension UIImage {
func maskWithColor(color: UIColor) -> UIImage {
var maskImage = self.CGImage
let width = self.size.width
let height = self.size.height
let bounds = CGRectMake(0, 0, width, height)
let colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB()
let bitmapInfo = CGBitmapInfo(CGImageAlphaInfo.PremultipliedLast.rawValue)
let bitmapContext = CGBitmapContextCreate(nil, Int(width), Int(height), 8, 0, colorSpace, bitmapInfo)
CGContextClipToMask(bitmapContext, bounds, maskImage)
CGContextSetFillColorWithColor(bitmapContext, color.CGColor)
CGContextFillRect(bitmapContext, bounds)
let cImage = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(bitmapContext)
let coloredImage = UIImage(CGImage: cImage)
return coloredImage!
}
}
Then you can use it like that:
image.maskWithColor(UIColor.redColor())
For iOS13+ there are withTintColor(__:) and withTintColor(_:renderingMode:) methods.
Example usage:
let newImage = oldImage.withTintColor(.red)
or
let newImage = oldImage.withTintColor(.red, renderingMode: .alwaysTemplate)
Swift 3 extension wrapper from #Nikolai Ruhe answer.
extension UIImageView {
func maskWith(color: UIColor) {
guard let tempImage = image?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate) else { return }
image = tempImage
tintColor = color
}
}
It can be use for UIButton as well, e.g:
button.imageView?.maskWith(color: .blue)
Add this extension in your code and change image color in storyboard itself.
Swift 4 & 5:
extension UIImageView {
#IBInspectable
var changeColor: UIColor? {
get {
let color = UIColor(cgColor: layer.borderColor!);
return color
}
set {
let templateImage = self.image?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
self.image = templateImage
self.tintColor = newValue
}
}
}
Storyboard Preview:
Swift 4
let image: UIImage? = #imageLiteral(resourceName: "logo-1").withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
topLogo.image = image
topLogo.tintColor = UIColor.white
Simpleminded way:
yourIcon.image = yourIcon.image?.withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
yourIcon.tintColor = .someColor
BTW it's more fun on Android!
yourIcon.setColorFilter(getColor(R.color.someColor), PorterDuff.Mode.MULTIPLY);
Add extension Function:
extension UIImageView {
func setImage(named: String, color: UIColor) {
self.image = #imageLiteral(resourceName: named).withRenderingMode(.alwaysTemplate)
self.tintColor = color
}
}
Use like:
anyImageView.setImage(named: "image_name", color: .red)
Post iOS 13 you can use it something like this
arrowWhiteImage.withTintColor(.black, renderingMode: .alwaysTemplate)
Swift 3

I use CALayer to mask the given image with Alpha Channel
import Foundation
extension UIImage {
func maskWithColor(color: UIColor) -> UIImage? {
let maskLayer = CALayer()
maskLayer.bounds = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.width, height: size.height)
maskLayer.backgroundColor = color.cgColor
maskLayer.doMask(by: self)
let maskImage = maskLayer.toImage()
return maskImage
}
}
extension CALayer {
func doMask(by imageMask: UIImage) {
let maskLayer = CAShapeLayer()
maskLayer.bounds = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: imageMask.size.width, height: imageMask.size.height)
bounds = maskLayer.bounds
maskLayer.contents = imageMask.cgImage
maskLayer.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: frame.size.width, height: frame.size.height)
mask = maskLayer
}
func toImage() -> UIImage?
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(bounds.size,
isOpaque,
UIScreen.main.scale)
guard let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() else {
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return nil
}
render(in: context)
let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image
}
}
Swift 3 version with scale and Orientation from #kuzdu answer
extension UIImage {
func mask(_ color: UIColor) -> UIImage? {
let maskImage = cgImage!
let width = (cgImage?.width)!
let height = (cgImage?.height)!
let bounds = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: width, height: height)
let colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB()
let bitmapInfo = CGBitmapInfo(rawValue: CGImageAlphaInfo.premultipliedLast.rawValue)
let context = CGContext(data: nil, width: Int(width), height: Int(height), bitsPerComponent: 8, bytesPerRow: 0, space: colorSpace, bitmapInfo: bitmapInfo.rawValue)!
context.clip(to: bounds, mask: maskImage)
context.setFillColor(color.cgColor)
context.fill(bounds)
if let cgImage = context.makeImage() {
let coloredImage = UIImage.init(cgImage: cgImage, scale: scale, orientation: imageOrientation)
return coloredImage
} else {
return nil
}
}
}
Swift 4.
Use this extension to create a solid colored image
extension UIImage {
public func coloredImage(color: UIColor) -> UIImage? {
return coloredImage(color: color, size: CGSize(width: 1, height: 1))
}
public func coloredImage(color: UIColor, size: CGSize) -> UIImage? {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 0)
color.setFill()
UIRectFill(CGRect(origin: CGPoint(), size: size))
guard let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() else { return nil }
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image
}
}
Here is swift 3 version of H R's solution.
func overlayImage(color: UIColor) -> UIImage? {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, UIScreen.main.scale)
let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
color.setFill()
context!.translateBy(x: 0, y: self.size.height)
context!.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
context!.setBlendMode(CGBlendMode.colorBurn)
let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.size.width, height: self.size.height)
context!.draw(self.cgImage!, in: rect)
context!.setBlendMode(CGBlendMode.sourceIn)
context!.addRect(rect)
context!.drawPath(using: CGPathDrawingMode.fill)
let coloredImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return coloredImage
}
Since I found Darko's answer very helpful in colorizing custom pins for mapView annotations, but had to do some conversions for Swift 3, thought I'd share the updated code along with my recommendation for his answer:
extension UIImage {
func maskWithColor(color: UIColor) -> UIImage {
var maskImage = self.CGImage
let width = self.size.width
let height = self.size.height
let bounds = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: width, height: height)
let colorSpace = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB()
let bitmapInfo = CGBitmapInfo(rawValue: CGImageAlphaInfo.premultipliedLast.rawValue)
let bitmapContext = CGContext(data: nil, width: Int(width), height: Int(height), bitsPerComponent: 8, bytesPerRow: 0, space: colorSpace, bitmapInfo: bitmapInfo.rawValue)
bitmapContext!.clip(to: bounds, mask: maskImage!)
bitmapContext!.setFillColor(color.cgColor)
bitmapContext!.fill(bounds)
let cImage = bitmapContext!.makeImage()
let coloredImage = UIImage(CGImage: cImage)
return coloredImage!
}
}
I have modified the extension found here: Github Gist, for Swift 3 which I have tested in the context of an extension for UIImage.
func tint(with color: UIColor) -> UIImage
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.size)
guard let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() else { return self }
// flip the image
context.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
context.translateBy(x: 0.0, y: -self.size.height)
// multiply blend mode
context.setBlendMode(.multiply)
let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.size.width, height: self.size.height)
context.clip(to: rect, mask: self.cgImage!)
color.setFill()
context.fill(rect)
// create UIImage
guard let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() else { return self }
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage
}
I am making an app for iOS, using Swift and Parse.com
I am trying to let the user select a picture from an image picker and then resize the selected image to 200x200 pixels before uploading to my backend.
Parse.com have a tutorial for an Instagram copy app called "AnyPic" which gives this code for resizing images, but it is in Objective-C....
// Resize the image to be square (what is shown in the preview)
UIImage *resizedImage = [anImage resizedImageWithContentMode:UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit
bounds:CGSizeMake(560.0f, 560.0f)
interpolationQuality:kCGInterpolationHigh];
// Create a thumbnail and add a corner radius for use in table views
UIImage *thumbnailImage = [anImage thumbnailImage:86.0f
transparentBorder:0.0f
cornerRadius:10.0f
interpolationQuality:kCGInterpolationDefault];
How would I create a 200x200px version of the selected picture (to then upload) in Swift?
And, what is the thumbnailImage function doing?
See my blog post, Resize image in swift and objective C, for further details.
Image resize function in swift as below.
func resizeImage(image: UIImage, targetSize: CGSize) -> UIImage? {
let size = image.size
let widthRatio = targetSize.width / size.width
let heightRatio = targetSize.height / size.height
// Figure out what our orientation is, and use that to form the rectangle
var newSize: CGSize
if(widthRatio > heightRatio) {
newSize = CGSize(width: size.width * heightRatio, height: size.height * heightRatio)
} else {
newSize = CGSize(width: size.width * widthRatio, height: size.height * widthRatio)
}
// This is the rect that we've calculated out and this is what is actually used below
let rect = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: newSize)
// Actually do the resizing to the rect using the ImageContext stuff
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 1.0)
image.draw(in: rect)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage
}
Use the above function and resize image with 200*200 as below code
self.resizeImage(UIImage(named: "yourImageName")!, targetSize: CGSizeMake(200.0, 200.0))
swift3 updated
func resizeImage(image: UIImage, targetSize: CGSize) -> UIImage {
let size = image.size
let widthRatio = targetSize.width / size.width
let heightRatio = targetSize.height / size.height
// Figure out what our orientation is, and use that to form the rectangle
var newSize: CGSize
if(widthRatio > heightRatio) {
newSize = CGSize(width: size.width * heightRatio, height: size.height * heightRatio)
} else {
newSize = CGSize(width: size.width * widthRatio, height: size.height * widthRatio)
}
// This is the rect that we've calculated out and this is what is actually used below
let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height)
// Actually do the resizing to the rect using the ImageContext stuff
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 1.0)
image.draw(in: rect)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage!
}

For Swift 4.0 and iOS 10
extension UIImage {
func resizeImage(_ dimension: CGFloat, opaque: Bool, contentMode: UIViewContentMode = .scaleAspectFit) -> UIImage {
var width: CGFloat
var height: CGFloat
var newImage: UIImage
let size = self.size
let aspectRatio = size.width/size.height
switch contentMode {
case .scaleAspectFit:
if aspectRatio > 1 { // Landscape image
width = dimension
height = dimension / aspectRatio
} else { // Portrait image
height = dimension
width = dimension * aspectRatio
}
default:
fatalError("UIIMage.resizeToFit(): FATAL: Unimplemented ContentMode")
}
if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
let renderFormat = UIGraphicsImageRendererFormat.default()
renderFormat.opaque = opaque
let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: CGSize(width: width, height: height), format: renderFormat)
newImage = renderer.image {
(context) in
self.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: width, height: height))
}
} else {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(CGSize(width: width, height: height), opaque, 0)
self.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: width, height: height))
newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
}
return newImage
}
}
Since #KiritModi 's answer is from 2015, this is the Swift 3.0's version:
func resizeImage(image: UIImage, targetSize: CGSize) -> UIImage {
let size = image.size
let widthRatio = targetSize.width / image.size.width
let heightRatio = targetSize.height / image.size.height
// Figure out what our orientation is, and use that to form the rectangle
var newSize: CGSize
if(widthRatio > heightRatio) {
newSize = CGSize(width: size.width * heightRatio, height: size.height * heightRatio)
} else {
newSize = CGSize(width: size.width * widthRatio, height: size.height * widthRatio)
}
// This is the rect that we've calculated out and this is what is actually used below
let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height)
// Actually do the resizing to the rect using the ImageContext stuff
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 1.0)
image.draw(in: rect)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage!
}
For Swift 5.0 and iOS 12
extension UIImage {
func imageResized(to size: CGSize) -> UIImage {
return UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: size).image { _ in
draw(in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size))
}
}
}
use:
let image = #imageLiteral(resourceName: "ic_search")
cell!.search.image = image.imageResized(to: cell!.search.frame.size)
For Swift 4 I would just make an extension on UIImage with referencing to self.
import UIKit
extension UIImage {
func resizeImage(targetSize: CGSize) -> UIImage {
let size = self.size
let widthRatio = targetSize.width / size.width
let heightRatio = targetSize.height / size.height
let newSize = widthRatio > heightRatio ? CGSize(width: size.width * heightRatio, height: size.height * heightRatio) : CGSize(width: size.width * widthRatio, height: size.height * widthRatio)
let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 1.0)
self.draw(in: rect)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage!
}
}
It's also possible to use AlamofireImage (https://github.com/Alamofire/AlamofireImage)
let size = CGSize(width: 30.0, height: 30.0)
let aspectScaledToFitImage = image.af_imageAspectScaled(toFit: size)
The function in the previous post gave me a blurry result.
Swift 3 Version and Extension style
This answer come from #Kirit Modi.
extension UIImage {
func resizeImage(targetSize: CGSize) -> UIImage {
let size = self.size
let widthRatio = targetSize.width / size.width
let heightRatio = targetSize.height / size.height
// Figure out what our orientation is, and use that to form the rectangle
var newSize: CGSize
if(widthRatio > heightRatio) {
newSize = CGSize(width: size.width * heightRatio, height: size.height * heightRatio)
} else {
newSize = CGSize(width: size.width * widthRatio, height: size.height * widthRatio)
}
// This is the rect that we've calculated out and this is what is actually used below
let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height)
// Actually do the resizing to the rect using the ImageContext stuff
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 1.0)
self.draw(in: rect)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage!
}
}
Updated Swift 5 version that uses the latest UIGraphicsImageRenderer API.
extension UIImage {
public func resized(to target: CGSize) -> UIImage {
let ratio = min(
target.height / size.height, target.width / size.width
)
let new = CGSize(
width: size.width * ratio, height: size.height * ratio
)
let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: new)
return renderer.image { _ in
self.draw(in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: new))
}
}
}
Swift 4, extension version, NO WHITE LINE ON EDGES.
Nobody seems to be mentioning that if image.draw() is called with non-integer values, resulting image could show a white line artifact at the right or bottom edge.
extension UIImage {
func scaled(with scale: CGFloat) -> UIImage? {
// size has to be integer, otherwise it could get white lines
let size = CGSize(width: floor(self.size.width * scale), height: floor(self.size.height * scale))
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size)
draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.width, height: size.height))
let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image
}
Swift 5 version respecting ratio (scaleToFill) and centering image:
extension UIImage {
func resized(to newSize: CGSize) -> UIImage {
return UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: newSize).image { _ in
let hScale = newSize.height / size.height
let vScale = newSize.width / size.width
let scale = max(hScale, vScale) // scaleToFill
let resizeSize = CGSize(width: size.width*scale, height: size.height*scale)
var middle = CGPoint.zero
if resizeSize.width > newSize.width {
middle.x -= (resizeSize.width-newSize.width)/2.0
}
if resizeSize.height > newSize.height {
middle.y -= (resizeSize.height-newSize.height)/2.0
}
draw(in: CGRect(origin: middle, size: resizeSize))
}
}
}
Swift 4 Version
extension UIImage {
func resizeImage(_ newSize: CGSize) -> UIImage? {
func isSameSize(_ newSize: CGSize) -> Bool {
return size == newSize
}
func scaleImage(_ newSize: CGSize) -> UIImage? {
func getScaledRect(_ newSize: CGSize) -> CGRect {
let ratio = max(newSize.width / size.width, newSize.height / size.height)
let width = size.width * ratio
let height = size.height * ratio
return CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: width, height: height)
}
func _scaleImage(_ scaledRect: CGRect) -> UIImage? {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(scaledRect.size, false, 0.0);
draw(in: scaledRect)
let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext() ?? UIImage()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image
}
return _scaleImage(getScaledRect(newSize))
}
return isSameSize(newSize) ? self : scaleImage(newSize)!
}
}
UIImage Extension Swift 5
extension UIImage {
func resize(_ width: CGFloat, _ height:CGFloat) -> UIImage? {
let widthRatio = width / size.width
let heightRatio = height / size.height
let ratio = widthRatio > heightRatio ? heightRatio : widthRatio
let newSize = CGSize(width: size.width * ratio, height: size.height * ratio)
let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 1.0)
self.draw(in: rect)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage
}
}
Use :
UIImage().resize(200, 300)
All of the listed answers so far seem to result in an image of a reduced size, however the size isn't measured in pixels. Here's a Swift 5, pixel-based resize.
extension UIImage {
func resize(_ max_size: CGFloat) -> UIImage {
// adjust for device pixel density
let max_size_pixels = max_size / UIScreen.main.scale
// work out aspect ratio
let aspectRatio = size.width/size.height
// variables for storing calculated data
var width: CGFloat
var height: CGFloat
var newImage: UIImage
if aspectRatio > 1 {
// landscape
width = max_size_pixels
height = max_size_pixels / aspectRatio
} else {
// portrait
height = max_size_pixels
width = max_size_pixels * aspectRatio
}
// create an image renderer of the correct size
let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: CGSize(width: width, height: height), format: UIGraphicsImageRendererFormat.default())
// render the image
newImage = renderer.image {
(context) in
self.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: width, height: height))
}
// return the image
return newImage
}
}
Usage:
image.resize(500)
Here's a general method (in Swift 5) for downscaling an image to fit a size. The resulting image can have the same aspect ratio as the original, or it can be the target size with the original image centered in it. If the image is smaller than the target size, it is not resized.
extension UIImage {
func scaledDown(into size:CGSize, centered:Bool = false) -> UIImage {
var (targetWidth, targetHeight) = (self.size.width, self.size.height)
var (scaleW, scaleH) = (1 as CGFloat, 1 as CGFloat)
if targetWidth > size.width {
scaleW = size.width/targetWidth
}
if targetHeight > size.height {
scaleH = size.height/targetHeight
}
let scale = min(scaleW,scaleH)
targetWidth *= scale; targetHeight *= scale
let sz = CGSize(width:targetWidth, height:targetHeight)
if !centered {
return UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size:sz).image { _ in
self.draw(in:CGRect(origin:.zero, size:sz))
}
}
let x = (size.width - targetWidth)/2
let y = (size.height - targetHeight)/2
let origin = CGPoint(x:x,y:y)
return UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size:size).image { _ in
self.draw(in:CGRect(origin:origin, size:sz))
}
}
}
Swift 4 Solution-
Use this function
func image(with image: UIImage, scaledTo newSize: CGSize) -> UIImage {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 1.0)
image.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height))
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
drawingImageView.image = newImage
return newImage ?? UIImage()
}
Calling a function:-
image(with: predictionImage, scaledTo: CGSize(width: 28.0, height: 28.0)
here 28.0 is the pixel size that you want to set
Swift 4.2 version of #KiritModi answer
func resizeImage(image: UIImage, targetSize: CGSize) -> UIImage {
let size = image.size
let widthRatio = targetSize.width / size.width
let heightRatio = targetSize.height / size.height
var newSize: CGSize
if(widthRatio > heightRatio) {
newSize = CGSize(width: size.width * heightRatio, height: size.height * heightRatio)
} else {
newSize = CGSize(width: size.width * widthRatio, height: size.height * widthRatio)
}
let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 1.0)
image.draw(in: rect)
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage!
}
calling of resizeimage method
let image1 = resizeimage(image: myimage.image!, withSize: CGSize(width:200, height: 200))
method for resizeing image
func resizeimage(image:UIImage,withSize:CGSize) -> UIImage {
var actualHeight:CGFloat = image.size.height
var actualWidth:CGFloat = image.size.width
let maxHeight:CGFloat = withSize.height
let maxWidth:CGFloat = withSize.width
var imgRatio:CGFloat = actualWidth/actualHeight
let maxRatio:CGFloat = maxWidth/maxHeight
let compressionQuality = 0.5
if (actualHeight>maxHeight||actualWidth>maxWidth) {
if (imgRatio<maxRatio){
//adjust width according to maxHeight
imgRatio = maxHeight/actualHeight
actualWidth = imgRatio * actualWidth
actualHeight = maxHeight
}else if(imgRatio>maxRatio){
// adjust height according to maxWidth
imgRatio = maxWidth/actualWidth
actualHeight = imgRatio * actualHeight
actualWidth = maxWidth
}else{
actualHeight = maxHeight
actualWidth = maxWidth
}
}
let rec:CGRect = CGRect(x:0.0,y:0.0,width:actualWidth,height:actualHeight)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rec.size)
image.draw(in: rec)
let image:UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
let imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, CGFloat(compressionQuality))
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
let resizedimage = UIImage(data: imageData!)
return resizedimage!
}
Here you have two simple functions of UIImage extension:
func scaledWithMaxWidthOrHeightValue(value: CGFloat) -> UIImage? {
let width = self.size.width
let height = self.size.height
let ratio = width/height
var newWidth = value
var newHeight = value
if ratio > 1 {
newWidth = width * (newHeight/height)
} else {
newHeight = height * (newWidth/width)
}
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(CGSize(width: newWidth, height: newHeight), false, 0)
draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newWidth, height: newHeight))
let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image
}
func scaled(withScale scale: CGFloat) -> UIImage? {
let size = CGSize(width: self.size.width * scale, height: self.size.height * scale)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 0)
draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.width, height: size.height))
let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return image
}
SWIFT 5 - XCODE 12 -- RESIZE IMAGE & No White line
I used a wonderful solution above for Swift 5. And I changed one bit to include the term "floor" as I was getting a white line around my resized images. This rounds it to the nearest pixel or something so it looks great! I also had to change the syntax around the image name when the function is called (last line).
//method for resizing image
func resizeimage(image:UIImage,withSize:CGSize) -> UIImage {
var actualHeight:CGFloat = image.size.height
var actualWidth:CGFloat = image.size.width
let maxHeight:CGFloat = withSize.height
let maxWidth:CGFloat = withSize.width
var imgRatio:CGFloat = actualWidth/actualHeight
let maxRatio:CGFloat = maxWidth/maxHeight
let compressionQuality = 0.5
if (actualHeight>maxHeight||actualWidth>maxWidth) {
if (imgRatio<maxRatio){
//adjust width according to maxHeight
imgRatio = maxHeight/actualHeight
actualWidth = floor(imgRatio * actualWidth)
actualHeight = maxHeight
}else if(imgRatio>maxRatio){
// adjust height according to maxWidth
imgRatio = maxWidth/actualWidth
actualHeight = imgRatio * actualHeight
actualWidth = maxWidth
}else{
actualHeight = maxHeight
actualWidth = maxWidth
}
}
let rec:CGRect = CGRect(x:0.0,y:0.0,width:actualWidth,height:actualHeight)
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rec.size)
image.draw(in: rec)
let image:UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
let imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, CGFloat(compressionQuality))
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
let resizedimage = UIImage(data: imageData!)
return resizedimage!
}
//calling of resizeimage method:
let myimage = UIImage(named: "imagename")
let image1 = resizeimage(image: myimage!, withSize: CGSize(width:50, height: 50)).withRenderingMode(.alwaysOriginal)
Example is for image minimize to 1024 and less
func resizeImage(image: UIImage) -> UIImage {
if image.size.height >= 1024 && image.size.width >= 1024 {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSize(width:1024, height:1024))
image.draw(in: CGRect(x:0, y:0, width:1024, height:1024))
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage!
}
else if image.size.height >= 1024 && image.size.width < 1024
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSize(width:image.size.width, height:1024))
image.draw(in: CGRect(x:0, y:0, width:image.size.width, height:1024))
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage!
}
else if image.size.width >= 1024 && image.size.height < 1024
{
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSize(width:1024, height:image.size.height))
image.draw(in: CGRect(x:0, y:0, width:1024, height:image.size.height))
let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage!
}
else
{
return image
}
}
You can use this for fit image at Swift 3;
extension UIImage {
func resizedImage(newSize: CGSize) -> UIImage {
// Guard newSize is different
guard self.size != newSize else { return self }
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 0.0);
self.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height))
let newImage: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return newImage
}
func resizedImageWithinRect(rectSize: CGSize) -> UIImage {
let widthFactor = size.width / rectSize.width
let heightFactor = size.height / rectSize.height
var resizeFactor = widthFactor
if size.height > size.width {
resizeFactor = heightFactor
}
let newSize = CGSize(width: size.width/resizeFactor, height: size.height/resizeFactor)
let resized = resizedImage(newSize: newSize)
return resized
}
}
Usage;
let resizedImage = image.resizedImageWithinRect(rectSize: CGSize(width: 1900, height: 1900))
