How to Resize an Image in iOS

How to Resize image in Swift?

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!
}

Resizing Image in Xcode?

The simple answer would be "NO".

I do not aware of any way to use Xcode resizing images.

The easiest method for me is to right click on any image and select "Open with External Editor". Preview should be opened and the app is quite simple to use.

The simplest way to resize an UIImage?

The simplest way is to set the frame of your UIImageView and set the contentMode to one of the resizing options.

Or you can use this utility method, if you actually need to resize an image:

+ (UIImage *)imageWithImage:(UIImage *)image scaledToSize:(CGSize)newSize {
    //UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(newSize);
    // In next line, pass 0.0 to use the current device's pixel scaling factor (and thus account for Retina resolution).
    // Pass 1.0 to force exact pixel size.
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, NO, 0.0);
    [image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, newSize.width, newSize.height)];
    UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();    
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return newImage;
}

Example usage:

#import "MYUtil.h"
…
UIImage *myIcon = [MYUtil imageWithImage:myUIImageInstance scaledToSize:CGSizeMake(20, 20)];

How to resize Image with SwiftUI?

You should use .resizable() before applying any size modifications on an Image.

Image(room.thumbnailImage)
    .resizable()
    .frame(width: 32.0, height: 32.0)

Resize UIImage to 200x200pt/px

Here is my code. The Image is in width 850 px and not 200 px:

 func resizeImage(image: UIImage, newWidth: CGFloat) -> UIImage {

    let scale = newWidth / image.size.width
    let newHeight = image.size.height * scale
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSizeMake(newWidth, newHeight))
    image.drawInRect(CGRectMake(0, 0, newWidth, newHeight))
    let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    return newImage
}


@IBAction func chooseImage(sender: AnyObject) {


    var myPickerController = UIImagePickerController()
    myPickerController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.PhotoLibrary
    myPickerController.delegate = self;
    self.presentViewController(myPickerController, animated: true, completion: nil)


}

func imagePickerController(picker: UIImagePickerController, didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo info: [NSObject : AnyObject])

{
    var imagenow = info[UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage] as? UIImage

    imageImage.image = resizeImage(imagenow!, newWidth: 200)



    pimg2 = imageImage.image!

    cidnew2 = textFieldCID!.text!
    pname2 = textFieldName!.text
    pmanu2 = textFieldMan!.text
    pnick2 = textFieldNick!.text
    podate2 = textFieldPODate!.text
    pno2 = textFieldArtNo!.text



    self.dismissViewControllerAnimated(true, completion: nil)

}
