Rogerio Chaves的回答是一个快速扩展

func scaledTo(size: CGSize) -> UIImage{
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 0.0);
    self.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: size.width, height: size.height))
    let newImage:UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    return newImage
}

还有额外的好处

func scaledTo(height: CGFloat) -> UIImage{
    let width = height*self.size.width/self.size.height
    return scaledTo(size: CGSize(width: width, height: height))
}

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)
            })
        })
    }
}

Swift 4和iOS 10+的更紧凑版本:

extension UIImage {
    func resized(to size: CGSize) -> UIImage {
        return UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: size).image { _ in
            draw(in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size))
        }
    }
}

用法:

let resizedImage = image.resized(to: CGSize(width: 50, height: 50))

[cf Chris]调整大小到所需的大小:

UIImage *after = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:before.CGImage
                                     scale:CGImageGetHeight(before.CGImage)/DESIREDHEIGHT
                               orientation:UIImageOrientationUp];

或者，等效地，替换CGImageGetWidth(…)/DESIREDWIDTH

这是一个与Swift 3和Swift 4兼容的UIImage扩展，它可以将图像缩放到给定的大小

extension UIImage {

    func scaledImage(withSize size: CGSize) -> UIImage {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 0.0)
        defer { UIGraphicsEndImageContext() }
        draw(in: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: size.width, height: size.height))
        return UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
    }

    func scaleImageToFitSize(size: CGSize) -> UIImage {
        let aspect = self.size.width / self.size.height
        if size.width / aspect <= size.height {
            return scaledImage(withSize: CGSize(width: size.width, height: size.width / aspect))
        } else {
            return scaledImage(withSize: CGSize(width: size.height * aspect, height: size.height))
        }
    }

}

示例使用

let image = UIImage(named: "apple")
let scaledImage = image.scaleImageToFitSize(size: CGSize(width: 45.0, height: 45.0))

为什么这么复杂?我认为使用系统API可以达到同样的效果:

UIImage *largeImage;
CGFloat ratio = 0.4; // you want to get a new image that is 40% the size of large image.
UIImage *newImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:largeImage.CGImage
                                        scale:1/ratio
                                  orientation:largeImage.imageOrientation];
// notice the second argument, it is 1/ratio, not ratio.

唯一的问题是你应该传递目标比率的倒数作为第二个参数，因为根据文档，第二个参数指定原始图像与新缩放图像的比率。
