Swift version of Abduliam Rehmanius answer.

func screenshot() -> UIImage {

        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.scrollCrop.bounds.size, true, UIScreen.mainScreen().scale);
        //this is the key
        let offset:CGPoint = self.scrollCrop.contentOffset;
        CGContextTranslateCTM(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(), -offset.x, -offset.y);
        self.scrollCrop.layer.renderInContext(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!);
        let visibleScrollViewImage: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
        return visibleScrollViewImage;
    }

Swift 4 version:

func screenshot() -> UIImage {
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.scrollCrop.bounds.size, false, UIScreen.main.scale)
        let offset = self.scrollCrop.contentOffset
        let thisContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
        thisContext?.translateBy(x: -offset.x, y: -offset.y)
        self.scrollCrop.layer.render(in: thisContext!)
        let visibleScrollViewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
return visibleScrollViewImage
