在Swift 3.0和Xcode 8.0

编码:

let userImage:UIImage = UIImage(named: "Your-Image_name")!
let imageData:NSData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(userImage)! as NSData
let dataImage = imageData.base64EncodedString(options: .lineLength64Characters)

解码:

let imageData = dataImage
let dataDecode:NSData = NSData(base64Encoded: imageData!, options:.ignoreUnknownCharacters)!
let avatarImage:UIImage = UIImage(data: dataDecode as Data)!
yourImageView.image = avatarImage

解码使用方便的初始化器- Swift 5

extension UIImage {
    convenience init?(base64String: String) {
        guard let data = Data(base64Encoded: base64String) else { return nil }
        self.init(data: data)
    }
} 

Swift-Extension:

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

// prgm mark ---- 

// convert images into base64 and keep them into string

func convertImageToBase64(image: UIImage) -> String {

    var imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image)
    let base64String = imageData.base64EncodedStringWithOptions(.allZeros)

    return base64String

}// end convertImageToBase64


// prgm mark ----

// convert images into base64 and keep them into string

func convertBase64ToImage(base64String: String) -> UIImage {

    let decodedData = NSData(base64EncodedString: base64String, options: NSDataBase64DecodingOptions(rawValue: 0) )

    var decodedimage = UIImage(data: decodedData!)

    return decodedimage!

}// end convertBase64ToImage

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)
    }
}

很好理解你是否传递了Tyler Sheaffer所说的前缀。 但出于某种原因，你可能需要这个前缀来描述base64字符串开头的mime类型，所以我建议这段代码在编码之前传递一些选项(Swift 5):

extension UIImage {

    enum Format: String {
        case png = "png"
        case jpeg = "jpeg"
    }

    func toBase64(type: Format = .jpeg, quality: CGFloat = 1, addMimePrefix: Bool = false) -> String? {
        let imageData: Data?
        switch type {
        case .jpeg: imageData = jpegData(compressionQuality: quality)
        case .png:  imageData = pngData()
        }
        guard let data = imageData else { return nil }

        let base64 = data.base64EncodedString(options: Data.Base64EncodingOptions.lineLength64Characters)

        var result = base64
        if addMimePrefix {
            let prefix = "data:image/\(type.rawValue);base64,"
            result = prefix + base64
        }
        return result
    }
}
