accessing UIImage properties without loading in me

问题:

As you know the iphone guidelines discourage loading uiimages that are greater than 1024x1024.

The size of the images that i would have to load varies, and i would like to check the size of the image i am about to load; however using the .size property of uiimage requires the image to be laoded... which is exactly what i am trying to avoid.

Is there something wrong in my reasoning or is there a solution to that?

thank you all

As of iOS 4.0, the iOS SDK includes the CGImageSource... functions (in the ImageIO framework). It's a very flexible API to query metadata without loading the image into memory. Getting the pixel dimensions of an image should work like this (make sure to include the ImageIO.framework in your target):

#import <ImageIO/ImageIO.h>

NSURL *imageFileURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:...];
CGImageSourceRef imageSource = CGImageSourceCreateWithURL((CFURLRef)imageFileURL, NULL);
if (imageSource == NULL) {
    // Error loading image
    ...
    return;
}

CGFloat width = 0.0f, height = 0.0f;
CFDictionaryRef imageProperties = CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(imageSource, 0, NULL);

CFRelease(imageSource);

if (imageProperties != NULL) {

    CFNumberRef widthNum  = CFDictionaryGetValue(imageProperties, kCGImagePropertyPixelWidth);
    if (widthNum != NULL) {
        CFNumberGetValue(widthNum, kCFNumberCGFloatType, &width);
    }

    CFNumberRef heightNum = CFDictionaryGetValue(imageProperties, kCGImagePropertyPixelHeight);
    if (heightNum != NULL) {
        CFNumberGetValue(heightNum, kCFNumberCGFloatType, &height);
    }

    // Check orientation and flip size if required
    CFNumberRef orientationNum = CFDictionaryGetValue(imageProperties, kCGImagePropertyOrientation);
    if (orientationNum != NULL) {
        int orientation;
        CFNumberGetValue(orientationNum, kCFNumberIntType, &orientation);
        if (orientation > 4) {
            CGFloat temp = width;
            width = height;
            height = temp;
        }
    }

    CFRelease(imageProperties);
}

NSLog(@"Image dimensions: %.0f x %.0f px", width, height);

Swift 3 version of the answer:

import Foundation
import ImageIO

func sizeForImage(at url: URL) -> CGSize? {

    guard let imageSource = CGImageSourceCreateWithURL(url as CFURL, nil)
        , let imageProperties = CGImageSourceCopyPropertiesAtIndex(imageSource, 0, nil) as? [AnyHashable: Any]
        , let pixelWidth = imageProperties[kCGImagePropertyPixelWidth as String]
        , let pixelHeight = imageProperties[kCGImagePropertyPixelHeight as String]
        , let orientationNumber = imageProperties[kCGImagePropertyOrientation as String]
        else {
            return nil
    }

    var width: CGFloat = 0, height: CGFloat = 0, orientation: Int = 0

    CFNumberGetValue(pixelWidth as! CFNumber, .cgFloatType, &width)
    CFNumberGetValue(pixelHeight as! CFNumber, .cgFloatType, &height)
    CFNumberGetValue(orientationNumber as! CFNumber, .intType, &orientation)

    // Check orientation and flip size if required
    if orientation > 4 { let temp = width; width = height; height = temp }

    return CGSize(width: width, height: height)
}
