a small image to show what i mean:

Answer 1

I have came across the same issue in one of my application and developed this piece of code:

+ (UIImage*)resizeImage:(UIImage*)image toFitInSize:(CGSize)toSize
{
    UIImage *result = image;
    CGSize sourceSize = image.size;
    CGSize targetSize = toSize;

    BOOL needsRedraw = NO;

    // Check if width of source image is greater than width of target image
    // Calculate the percentage of change in width required and update it in toSize accordingly.

    if (sourceSize.width > toSize.width) {

        CGFloat ratioChange = (sourceSize.width - toSize.width) * 100 / sourceSize.width;

        toSize.height = sourceSize.height - (sourceSize.height * ratioChange / 100);

        needsRedraw = YES;
    }

    // Now we need to make sure that if we chnage the height of image in same proportion
    // Calculate the percentage of change in width required and update it in target size variable.
    // Also we need to again change the height of the target image in the same proportion which we
    /// have calculated for the change.

    if (toSize.height < targetSize.height) {

        CGFloat ratioChange = (targetSize.height - toSize.height) * 100 / targetSize.height;

        toSize.height = targetSize.height;
        toSize.width = toSize.width + (toSize.width * ratioChange / 100);

        needsRedraw = YES;
    }

    // To redraw the image

    if (needsRedraw) {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(toSize);
        [image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, toSize.width, toSize.height)];
        result = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    }

    // Return the result

    return result;
}

You can modify it according to your needs.
