The simplest way to resize an UIImage?

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

Effective approach without stretching image Swift 4

// Method to resize image
func resize(image: UIImage, toScaleSize:CGSize) -> UIImage {
                UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(toScaleSize, true, image.scale)
                        image.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: toScaleSize.width, height: toScaleSize.height))
                        let scaledImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
                        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
                        return scaledImage!
                }

// Call method

    let resizedImage = self.resize(image: UIImage(named: "YourImageName")!, toScaleSize: CGSize(width: 290, height: 390))
