[ios] How to Resize image in Swift?

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?

This question is related to ios swift uiimage

The answer is


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
        }
    }

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)


SWIFT 5 with newImage = UIImage(cgImage: cgImage)

func scaleImage(toSize newSize: CGSize) -> UIImage? {
            var newImage: UIImage?
            let newRect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height).integral
            UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 0)
            if let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), let cgImage = self.cgImage {
                context.interpolationQuality = .high
                let flipVertical = CGAffineTransform(a: 1, b: 0, c: 0, d: -1, tx: 0, ty: newSize.height)
                context.concatenate(flipVertical)
                context.draw(cgImage, in: newRect)
                newImage = UIImage(cgImage: cgImage)
                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)

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!
}

Throwing in here my version of the accepted answer to work nicely with Swift 5. This solution does not force unwrap the resulting image making it a bit safer and overall cleaner solution.

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
        )
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(new, false, 1.0)
        draw(in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: new))
        defer { UIGraphicsEndImageContext() }
        return UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    }
}

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!
    }
}

Usage

Get image size

import UIKit

// https://stackoverflow.com/a/55765409/4488252
extension UIImage {
    func getFileSizeInfo(allowedUnits: ByteCountFormatter.Units = .useMB,
                         countStyle: ByteCountFormatter.CountStyle = .memory,
                         compressionQuality: CGFloat = 1.0) -> String? {
        // https://developer.apple.com/documentation/foundation/bytecountformatter
        let formatter = ByteCountFormatter()
        formatter.allowedUnits = allowedUnits
        formatter.countStyle = countStyle
        return getSizeInfo(formatter: formatter, compressionQuality: compressionQuality)
    }

    func getSizeInfo(formatter: ByteCountFormatter, compressionQuality: CGFloat = 1.0) -> String? {
        guard let imageData = jpegData(compressionQuality: compressionQuality) else { return nil }
        return formatter.string(fromByteCount: Int64(imageData.count))
    }
}

Test function

private func test() {
    guard let img = UIImage(named: "img") else { return }
    printInfo(of: img, title: "original image |")
    let dimension: CGFloat = 2000

    var framework: UIImage.ResizeFramework = .accelerate

    if let startedTime = startedTime { description += ", execution time: \(Date().timeIntervalSince(startedTime))" }
    if let fileSize = image.getFileSizeInfo(compressionQuality: 0.9) { description += ", size: \(fileSize)" }
    if let resizeFramework = resizeFramework { description += ", framework: \(resizeFramework)" }
    print(description)
}

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)

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!
    }

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
    }

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
}

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 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)!
    }
}

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))

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
    }

}

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!
  }
}

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 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


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 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!
}
