Swift 3版本的凯文的答案返回模糊的图像-

func blurBgImage(image: UIImage) -> UIImage? {
        let radius: CGFloat = 20;
        let context = CIContext(options: nil);
        let inputImage = CIImage(cgImage: image.cgImage!);
        let filter = CIFilter(name: "CIGaussianBlur");
        filter?.setValue(inputImage, forKey: kCIInputImageKey);
        filter?.setValue("\(radius)", forKey:kCIInputRadiusKey);

        if let result = filter?.value(forKey: kCIOutputImageKey) as? CIImage{

            let rect = CGRect(origin: CGPoint(x: radius * 2,y :radius * 2), size: CGSize(width: image.size.width - radius * 4, height: image.size.height - radius * 4))

            if let cgImage = context.createCGImage(result, from: rect){
                return UIImage(cgImage: cgImage);
                }
        }
        return nil;
    }

为了帮助大家，下面是我根据Jordan h的回答创建的一个快速扩展。它是用swift 5编写的，可以在Objective C中使用。

extension UIView {

    @objc func blurBackground(style: UIBlurEffect.Style, fallbackColor: UIColor) {
        if !UIAccessibility.isReduceTransparencyEnabled {
            self.backgroundColor = .clear

            let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: style)
            let blurEffectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: blurEffect)
            //always fill the view
            blurEffectView.frame = self.self.bounds
            blurEffectView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]

            self.insertSubview(blurEffectView, at: 0)
        } else {
            self.backgroundColor = fallbackColor
        }
    }

}

注意:如果你想在不影响文本的情况下模糊UILabel的背景，你应该创建一个容器UIView，将UILabel作为子视图添加到容器UIView，将UILabel的backgroundColor设置为UIColor。clear，然后调用blurBackground(style: UIBlurEffect。样式，fallbackColor: UIColor)的容器UIView。下面是用Swift 5写的一个简单的例子:

let frame = CGRect(x: 50, y: 200, width: 200, height: 50)
let containerView = UIView(frame: frame)
let label = UILabel(frame: frame)
label.text = "Some Text"
label.backgroundColor = UIColor.clear
containerView.addSubview(label)
containerView.blurBackground(style: .dark, fallbackColor: UIColor.black)

苹果为UIImage类提供了一个名为UIImage+ImageEffects.h的扩展。在这个类中，您可以使用所需的方法来模糊视图

你可以直接使用“带模糊的视觉效果视图”和“带模糊和活力的视觉效果视图”来创建背景模糊。

所有你需要做的是在iOS应用程序模糊背景…

在对象库中搜索“视觉效果模糊视图”

1 .图像

在你的故事板中拖动“带模糊的视觉效果视图”并设置它…

2 .图像

最后……你使你的应用程序背景模糊!

应用程序布局之前点击任何按钮!

应用程序视图后点击按钮，使整个应用程序背景模糊!

你可以使用UIVisualEffectView来实现这个效果。这是一个本地API，经过了性能和电池寿命的微调，而且很容易实现。

迅速:

//only apply the blur if the user hasn't disabled transparency effects
if !UIAccessibility.isReduceTransparencyEnabled {
    view.backgroundColor = .clear

    let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: .dark)
    let blurEffectView = UIVisualEffectView(effect: blurEffect)
    //always fill the view
    blurEffectView.frame = self.view.bounds
    blurEffectView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]

    view.addSubview(blurEffectView) //if you have more UIViews, use an insertSubview API to place it where needed
} else {
    view.backgroundColor = .black
}

objective - c:

//only apply the blur if the user hasn't disabled transparency effects
if (!UIAccessibilityIsReduceTransparencyEnabled()) {
    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];

    UIBlurEffect *blurEffect = [UIBlurEffect effectWithStyle:UIBlurEffectStyleDark];
    UIVisualEffectView *blurEffectView = [[UIVisualEffectView alloc] initWithEffect:blurEffect];
    //always fill the view
    blurEffectView.frame = self.view.bounds;
    blurEffectView.autoresizingMask = UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleWidth | UIViewAutoresizingFlexibleHeight;

    [self.view addSubview:blurEffectView]; //if you have more UIViews, use an insertSubview API to place it where needed
} else {
    self.view.backgroundColor = [UIColor blackColor];
}

如果你以模态方式呈现这个视图控制器来模糊底层内容，你需要将模态呈现风格设置为Over Current Context，并将背景颜色设置为clear，以确保底层视图控制器在顶部呈现时仍然可见。

简单的答案是添加一个子视图并改变它的alpha。

UIView *mainView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 200)];
UIView *subView = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:popupView.frame];
UIColor * backImgColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"blue_Img.png"]];
subView.backgroundColor = backImgColor;
subView.alpha = 0.5;
[mainView addSubview:subView];
