Cropping an UIImage

Question

I\'ve got some code that resizes an image so I can get a scaled chunk of the center of the image - I use this to take a UIImage and return a small, square repre

Answer 1

Swift 5:

extension UIImage {
    func cropped(rect: CGRect) -> UIImage? {
        guard let cgImage = cgImage else { return nil }

        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(rect.size, false, 0)
        let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()

        context?.translateBy(x: 0.0, y: self.size.height)
        context?.scaleBy(x: 1.0, y: -1.0)
        context?.draw(cgImage, in: CGRect(x: rect.minX, y: rect.minY, width: self.size.width, height: self.size.height), byTiling: false)


        let croppedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

        return croppedImage
    }
}
