对于Base64代码，例如:

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
}

Swift 4.2 | Xcode 10

extension UIImage {

    /// EZSE: Returns base64 string
    public var base64: String {
        return self.jpegData(compressionQuality: 1.0)!.base64EncodedString()
    }
}

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)

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
    }
}

//convert Image to Base64 (Encoding)

let strBase64 = imageData.base64EncodedString(options: .lineLength64Characters)

print(strBase64)

// convert Base64 to Image (Decoding)

let dataDecoded:NSData = NSData(base64EncodedString: strBase64, options: NSDataBase64DecodingOptions(rawValue: 0))!

let decodedimage:UIImage = UIImage(data: dataDecoded)!

print(decodedimage)

yourImageView.image = decodedimage
