Answer 1

Swift 4 version of Abduliam Rehmanius answer as UIScrollView extension with translation, no slow cropping

extension UIScrollView {

    var snapshotVisibleArea: UIImage? {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(bounds.size)
        UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()?.translateBy(x: -contentOffset.x, y: -contentOffset.y)
        layer.render(in: UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!)
        let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
        return image
    }
}

Swift 3.0 :

 func captureScreen() -> UIImage? {
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.yourScrollViewName.bounds.size, true, UIScreen.main.scale)
    let offset:CGPoint = self.yourScrollViewName.contentOffset;
    UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!.translateBy(x: -offset.x, y: -offset.y);
    self.yourScrollViewName.layer.render(in: UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!)
    let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    return image
}

and use it as : let Image = captureScreen()
