Swift 5 1  Xcode 11 Sometimes if your image is in high resolution then  imageView shifts from centre  I would suggest using this method   lazy var navigationTitleImageView   UIImageView      override func viewWillAppear   animated  Bool        super viewWillAppear animated      self setNavigationBar            self navigationTitleImageView image   logo     self navigationTitleImageView contentMode    scaleAspectFit          self navigationTitleImageView translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints   false          if let navC   self navigationController          navC navigationBar addSubview self navigationTitleImageView          self navigationTitleImageView centerXAnchor constraint equalTo  navC navigationBar centerXAnchor  isActive   true         self navigationTitleImageView centerYAnchor constraint equalTo  navC navigationBar centerYAnchor  constant  0  isActive   true         self navigationTitleImageView widthAnchor constraint equalTo  navC navigationBar widthAnchor  multiplier  0 2  isActive   true         self navigationTitleImageView heightAnchor constraint equalTo  navC navigationBar widthAnchor  multiplier  0 088  isActive   true          and viewWillDisappear     override func viewWillDisappear   animated  Bool        super viewWillDisappear animated      self navigationTitleImageView removeFromSuperview      or else just reduce the image size

In order to get the image view with the proper size and in the center  you should use the following approach    let width   120    choose the image width let height   20    choose the image height let titleView   UIView frame  CGRect x  0  y  0  width  view bounds width  height  44     44 is the standard size of the top bar let imageView   UIImageView frame  CGRect x   view bounds width - width  2  y   44 - height  2  width  width  height  height   imageView contentMode    scaleAspectFit   choose other if it makes sense imageView image   UIImage named   your image name   titleView addSubview imageView  navigationItem titleView   titleView

If you d prefer to use autolayout  and want a permanent fixed image in the navigation bar  that doesn t animate in with each screen  this solution works well   class CustomTitleNavigationController  UINavigationController    override func viewDidLoad         super viewDidLoad        let logo   UIImage named   MyHeaderImage        let imageView   UIImageView image logo      imageView contentMode    scaleAspectFit     imageView translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints   false      navigationBar addSubview imageView       navigationBar addConstraint  navigationBar leftAnchor constraint equalTo  imageView leftAnchor  constant  0       navigationBar addConstraint  navigationBar rightAnchor constraint equalTo  imageView rightAnchor  constant  0       navigationBar addConstraint  navigationBar topAnchor constraint equalTo  imageView topAnchor  constant  0       navigationBar addConstraint  navigationBar bottomAnchor constraint equalTo  imageView bottomAnchor  constant  0

Programmatically could be done like this   private var imageView  UIView        let bannerWidth   navigationBar frame size width   0 5    0 5 its multiplier to get correct image width     let bannerHeight   navigationBar frame size height      let view   UIView       view backgroundColor    clear     view frame   CGRect x  0  y  0  width  bannerWidth  height  bannerHeight       let image   UIImage named   your image name       let imageView   UIImageView image  image      imageView contentMode    scaleAspectFit     imageView frame   CGRect x  0  y  0  width  view frame width  height  view frame height       view addSubview imageView       return view     The just change titleView  navigationItem titleView   imageView
