Rotating Uiimage in Swift

Rotate UIImage in swift

This works for me:

works Fine :)

func imageRotatedByDegrees(oldImage: UIImage, deg degrees: CGFloat) -> UIImage {
    //Calculate the size of the rotated view's containing box for our drawing space
    let rotatedViewBox: UIView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, oldImage.size.width, oldImage.size.height))
    let t: CGAffineTransform = CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(degrees * CGFloat(M_PI / 180))
    rotatedViewBox.transform = t
    let rotatedSize: CGSize = rotatedViewBox.frame.size
    //Create the bitmap context
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rotatedSize)
    let bitmap: CGContextRef = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!
    //Move the origin to the middle of the image so we will rotate and scale around the center.
    CGContextTranslateCTM(bitmap, rotatedSize.width / 2, rotatedSize.height / 2)
    //Rotate the image context
    CGContextRotateCTM(bitmap, (degrees * CGFloat(M_PI / 180)))
    //Now, draw the rotated/scaled image into the context
    CGContextScaleCTM(bitmap, 1.0, -1.0)
    CGContextDrawImage(bitmap, CGRectMake(-oldImage.size.width / 2, -oldImage.size.height / 2, oldImage.size.width, oldImage.size.height), oldImage.CGImage)
    let newImage: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    return newImage
}

Swift 3:

func imageRotatedByDegrees(oldImage: UIImage, deg degrees: CGFloat) -> UIImage {
    //Calculate the size of the rotated view's containing box for our drawing space
    let rotatedViewBox: UIView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: oldImage.size.width, height: oldImage.size.height))
    let t: CGAffineTransform = CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: degrees * CGFloat.pi / 180)
    rotatedViewBox.transform = t
    let rotatedSize: CGSize = rotatedViewBox.frame.size
    //Create the bitmap context
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rotatedSize)
    let bitmap: CGContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!
    //Move the origin to the middle of the image so we will rotate and scale around the center.
    bitmap.translateBy(x: rotatedSize.width / 2, y: rotatedSize.height / 2)
    //Rotate the image context
    bitmap.rotate(by: (degrees * CGFloat.pi / 180))
    //Now, draw the rotated/scaled image into the context
    bitmap.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
    bitmap.draw(oldImage.cgImage!, in: CGRect(x: -oldImage.size.width / 2, y: -oldImage.size.height / 2, width: oldImage.size.width, height: oldImage.size.height))
    let newImage: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    return newImage
}

How to rotate image in Swift?

This is an extension of UIImage that targets Swift 4.0 and can rotate just the image without the need for a UIImageView. Tested successfully that the image was rotated, and not just had its exif data changed.

import UIKit

extension UIImage {
    func rotate(radians: CGFloat) -> UIImage {
        let rotatedSize = CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size)
            .applying(CGAffineTransform(rotationAngle: CGFloat(radians)))
            .integral.size
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rotatedSize)
        if let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() {
            let origin = CGPoint(x: rotatedSize.width / 2.0,
                                 y: rotatedSize.height / 2.0)
            context.translateBy(x: origin.x, y: origin.y)
            context.rotate(by: radians)
            draw(in: CGRect(x: -origin.y, y: -origin.x,
                            width: size.width, height: size.height))
            let rotatedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
            UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

            return rotatedImage ?? self
        }

        return self
    }
}

To perform a 180 degree rotation, you can call it like this:

let rotatedImage = image.rotate(radians: .pi)

If for whatever reason it fails to rotate, the original image will then be returned.

Swift: Rotating UIImage and filling it

You just need to set a fill color and fill your context before rotating the image:

extension UIImage {
    func rotatedBy(degree: CGFloat) -> UIImage? {
        guard let cgImage = cgImage else { return nil }
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 0)
        guard let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() else { return nil }
        defer { UIGraphicsEndImageContext() }
        UIColor.white.setFill()
        context.fill(.init(origin: .zero, size: size))
        context.translateBy(x: size.width/2, y: size.height/2)
        context.scaleBy(x: 1, y: -1)
        context.rotate(by: -degree * .pi / 180)
        context.draw(cgImage, in: CGRect(origin: .init(x: -size.width/2, y: -size.height/2), size: size))
        return UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    }
}

How to Rotate a UIImage 90 degrees?

What about something like:

static inline double radians (double degrees) {return degrees * M_PI/180;}
UIImage* rotate(UIImage* src, UIImageOrientation orientation)
{
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(src.size);

    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();

    if (orientation == UIImageOrientationRight) {
        CGContextRotateCTM (context, radians(90));
    } else if (orientation == UIImageOrientationLeft) {
        CGContextRotateCTM (context, radians(-90));
    } else if (orientation == UIImageOrientationDown) {
        // NOTHING
    } else if (orientation == UIImageOrientationUp) {
        CGContextRotateCTM (context, radians(90));
    }

    [src drawAtPoint:CGPointMake(0, 0)];

    UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return image;
}

Rotate image with UIGraphicsImageRenderer?

You can setup UIGraphicsImageRenderer to create an image and with that call the UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext() and rotate the context

let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size:sizeOfImage)
let image = renderer.image(actions: { _ in
    let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()

    context?.translateBy(x: orgin.x, y: orgin.y)
    context?.rotate(by: angle)
    context?.draw(image.cgImage!, in: CGRect(origin: CGPoint(x: -orgin.x,y: -orgin.y), size: size))
}
return image
