Swift 3.0和Xcode 8.0

let imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(imageView.image!, 1)

    let base64String = (imageData! as Data).base64EncodedString(options: NSData.Base64EncodingOptions(rawValue: 0))
    print(base64String)

Swift版本-创建base64镜像

在我看来，在UIImagePNGRepresenatation()的情况下隐式Unwrapped Optional是不安全的，所以我建议使用扩展如下:

extension UIImage {

    func toBase64() -> String? {
        let imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(self)
        return imageData?.base64EncodedStringWithOptions(NSDataBase64EncodingOptions.Encoding64CharacterLineLength)
    }
}

在swift 2.0中使用此扩展(credit to Jonas Franz)

extension UIImage{
  func toBase64() -> String{
    let imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(self)!
    return imageData.base64EncodedStringWithOptions(.Encoding64CharacterLineLength)
  }
}

4.2扩展方法

extension UIImage {
    func toBase64() -> String? {
        guard let imageData = self.pngData() else { return nil }
        return imageData.base64EncodedString(options: .lineLength64Characters)
    }
}

XCode 9.1和Swift 4.0

//
// Convert UIImage to a base64 representation
//
class func convertImageToBase64(image: UIImage) -> String {
    let imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image)!
    return imageData.base64EncodedString(options: Data.Base64EncodingOptions.lineLength64Characters)
}

//
// Convert a base64 representation to a UIImage
//
class func convertBase64ToImage(imageString: String) -> UIImage {
    let imageData = Data(base64Encoded: imageString, options: Data.Base64DecodingOptions.ignoreUnknownCharacters)!
    return UIImage(data: imageData)!
}

See my class -  AppExtension.swift


// MARK: - UIImage (Base64 Encoding)

public enum ImageFormat {
    case PNG
    case JPEG(CGFloat)
}

extension UIImage {

    public func base64(format: ImageFormat) -> String {
        var imageData: NSData
        switch format {
        case .PNG: imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(self)
        case .JPEG(let compression): imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(self, compression)
        }
        return imageData.base64EncodedStringWithOptions(.allZeros)
    }
}

Swift-Extension:

extension UIImage{
     func toBase64() -> String{
          var imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(self)
          return imageData.base64EncodedStringWithOptions(.allZeros)
     }
}
