斯威夫特5:

func imageWithImage(_ image: UIImage?, scaledToSize newSize: CGSize) -> UIImage? {
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 0.0);
    image?.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height))
    let newImage: UIImage? = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    return newImage
}

用法:

let img: UIImage? = imageWithImage(UIImage(named: "DefaultAvatar"), scaledToSize:CGSize(width: 20.0, height: 20.0))

对Paul代码的改进将使你在带有视网膜显示屏的iPhone上获得清晰的高分辨率图像。否则按比例缩小时就会模糊。

+ (UIImage *)imageWithImage:(UIImage *)image scaledToSize:(CGSize)newSize {
if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] respondsToSelector:@selector(scale)]) {
    if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] scale] == 2.0) {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, YES, 2.0);
    } else {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(newSize);
    }
} else {
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(newSize);
}
[image drawInRect:CGRectMake(0, 0, newSize.width, newSize.height)];
UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();    
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return newImage;
}

如果你想做一个UIImage的缩略图(按比例调整大小或可能涉及到一些裁剪)，检查UIImage+Resize类别，它允许你使用简洁的，类似imagemagick的语法:

UIImage* squareImage       = [image resizedImageByMagick: @"320x320#"];

使用这个扩展

extension UIImage {
    public func resize(size:CGSize, completionHandler:(resizedImage:UIImage, data:NSData?)->()) {
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_global_queue(QOS_CLASS_USER_INITIATED, 0), { () -> Void in
            let newSize:CGSize = size
            let rect = CGRectMake(0, 0, newSize.width, newSize.height)
            UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 1.0)
            self.drawInRect(rect)
            let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
            UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
            let imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(newImage, 0.5)
            dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), { () -> Void in
                completionHandler(resizedImage: newImage, data:imageData)
            })
        })
    }
}

正确的Swift 3.0 iOS 10+解决方案:使用ImageRenderer和闭包语法:

func imageWith(newSize: CGSize) -> UIImage {
    let image = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: newSize).image { _ in
        draw(in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: newSize))
    }
        
    return image.withRenderingMode(renderingMode)
}

这是Objective-C版本:

@implementation UIImage (ResizeCategory)
- (UIImage *)imageWithSize:(CGSize)newSize
{
    UIGraphicsImageRenderer *renderer = [[UIGraphicsImageRenderer alloc] initWithSize:newSize];
    UIImage *image = [renderer imageWithActions:^(UIGraphicsImageRendererContext*_Nonnull myContext) {
        [self drawInRect:(CGRect) {.origin = CGPointZero, .size = newSize}];
    }];
    return [image imageWithRenderingMode:self.renderingMode];
}
@end

对于Swift 5:

extension UIImage {
  func resized(to newSize: CGSize) -> UIImage? {
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, false, 0)
    defer { UIGraphicsEndImageContext() }

    draw(in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: newSize))
    return UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
  }
}
