Resize UIImage by keeping Aspect ratio and width

Question

I seen in many posts for resizing the image by keeping aspect ratio. These functions uses the fixed points(Width and Height) for RECT while resizing. But in my project, I need to resize the view based on the Width alone, Height should be taken automatically based on the aspect ratio. anyone help me to achieve this.

Answer 1

This method is a category on UIImage. Does scale to fit in few lines of code using AVFoundation. Don't forget to import #import <AVFoundation/AVFoundation.h>.

@implementation UIImage (Helper)

- (UIImage *)imageScaledToFitToSize:(CGSize)size
{
    CGRect scaledRect = AVMakeRectWithAspectRatioInsideRect(self.size, CGRectMake(0, 0, size.width, size.height));
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, NO, 0);
    [self drawInRect:scaledRect];
    UIImage *scaledImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return scaledImage;
}

@end

Programmatically:

imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;

Well, we have few good answers here for resizing image, but I just modify as per my need. hope this help someone like me.

My Requirement was

1. If image width is more than 1920, resize it with 1920 width and maintaining height with original aspect ratio.
2. If image height is more than 1080, resize it with 1080 height and maintaining width with original aspect ratio.

---

 if (originalImage.size.width > 1920)
 {
        CGSize newSize;
        newSize.width = 1920;
        newSize.height = (1920 * originalImage.size.height) / originalImage.size.width;
        originalImage = [ProfileEditExperienceViewController imageWithImage:originalImage scaledToSize:newSize];        
 }

 if (originalImage.size.height > 1080)
 {
            CGSize newSize;
            newSize.width = (1080 * originalImage.size.width) / originalImage.size.height;
            newSize.height = 1080;
            originalImage = [ProfileEditExperienceViewController imageWithImage:originalImage scaledToSize:newSize];

 }

+ (UIImage *)imageWithImage:(UIImage *)image scaledToSize:(CGSize)newSize
{
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(newSize);
        [image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, newSize.width, newSize.height)];
        UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
        return newImage;
}

Thanks to @Srikar Appal , for resizing I have used his method.

You may like to check this as well for resize calculation.

extension UIImage {

    /// Returns a image that fills in newSize
    func resizedImage(newSize: CGSize) -> UIImage? {
        guard size != newSize else { return self }

    let hasAlpha = false
    let scale: CGFloat = 0.0
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, !hasAlpha, scale)
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 0.0)

        draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height))
        let newImage: UIImage? = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
        return newImage
    }

    /// Returns a resized image that fits in rectSize, keeping it's aspect ratio
    /// Note that the new image size is not rectSize, but within it.
    func resizedImageWithinRect(rectSize: CGSize) -> UIImage? {
        let widthFactor = size.width / rectSize.width
        let heightFactor = size.height / rectSize.height

        var resizeFactor = widthFactor
        if size.height > size.width {
            resizeFactor = heightFactor
        }

        let newSize = CGSize(width: size.width / resizeFactor, height: size.height / resizeFactor)
        let resized = resizedImage(newSize: newSize)

        return resized
    }
}

When scale is set to 0.0, the scale factor of the main screen is used, which for Retina displays is 2.0 or higher (3.0 on the iPhone 6 Plus).

Answer 5

This one was perfect for me. Keeps aspect ratio and takes a maxLength. Width or Height will not be more than maxLength

-(UIImage*)imageWithImage: (UIImage*) sourceImage maxLength: (float) maxLength
{
    CGFloat scaleFactor = maxLength / MAX(sourceImage.size.width, sourceImage.size.height);

    float newHeight = sourceImage.size.height * scaleFactor;
    float newWidth = sourceImage.size.width * scaleFactor;

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSizeMake(newWidth, newHeight));
    [sourceImage drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, newWidth, newHeight)];
    UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return newImage;
}

Answer 6

Calculates the best height of the image for available width.

import Foundation

public extension UIImage {
    public func height(forWidth width: CGFloat) -> CGFloat {
        let boundingRect = CGRect(
            x: 0,
            y: 0,
            width: width,
            height: CGFloat(MAXFLOAT)
        )
        let rect = AVMakeRect(
            aspectRatio: size,
            insideRect: boundingRect
        )
        return rect.size.height
    }
}
