对于Base64代码，例如:

"data:image/jpg;base64,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"

使用Swift5.0代码如下:

func imageFromBase64(_ base64: String) -> UIImage? {
    if let url = URL(string: base64), let data = try? Data(contentsOf: url) {
        return UIImage(data: data)
    }
    return nil
}

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)!
}

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
    }
}

SWIFT 3.0, XCODE 8.0

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。

斯威夫特5号，Xcode 10号。

let imageData = UIImage（named：“imagename”）.pngData（）？.base64EncodedString（选项： .lineLength64Characters） 打印（图像数据）

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];
