enum ImageFormat {
    case png
    case jpeg(CGFloat)
}

extension UIImage {
    func base64(format: ImageFormat) -> String? {
        var imageData: Data?

        switch format {
        case .png: imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(self)
        case .jpeg(let compression): imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(self, compression)
        }

        return imageData?.base64EncodedString()
    }
}

extension String {
    func imageFromBase64() -> UIImage? {
        guard let data = Data(base64Encoded: self) else { return nil }

        return UIImage(data: data)
    }
}

将字符串替换为URL。和testImage是ImageView的一个出口

// Put Your Image URL
let url:NSURL = NSURL(string : "http://.jpg")!
// It Will turn Into Data
let imageData : NSData = NSData.init(contentsOf: url as URL)!
// Data Will Encode into Base64
let str64 = imageData.base64EncodedData(options: .lineLength64Characters)
// Now Base64 will Decode Here
let data: NSData = NSData(base64Encoded: str64 , options: .ignoreUnknownCharacters)!
// turn  Decoded String into Data
let dataImage = UIImage(data: data as Data)
// pass the data image to image View.:)
testImage.image = dataImage

希望能有所帮助谢谢。

// 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

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)
    }
} 

对于iOS 7+， Objective-C，下面是如何从一个图像URL开始转换:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:self.groove.thumbnailURL];

UIImage *image = [UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url]];

NSString *base64String = [UIImagePNGRepresentation(image)
base64EncodedStringWithOptions:NSDataBase64Encoding64CharacterLineLength];

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)
    }
}
