The simplest way to resize an UIImage?

Question

In my iPhone app, I take a picture with the camera, then I want to resize it to 290*390 pixels. I was using this method to resize the image :

UIImage *newI         


        

Answer 1

A more compact version for Swift 4 and iOS 10+:

extension UIImage {
    func resized(to size: CGSize) -> UIImage {
        return UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: size).image { _ in
            draw(in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size))
        }
    }
}

Usage:

let resizedImage = image.resized(to: CGSize(width: 50, height: 50))
