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;
    }

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];

我认为最简单的解决方案是覆盖UIToolbar，它在iOS 7中模糊了它后面的所有东西。这很狡猾，但实现起来非常简单，而且速度很快!

你可以对任何视图这么做，只是让它成为UIToolbar的子类而不是UIView。你甚至可以用UIViewController的view属性来做，例如…

1)创建一个新类，它是UIViewController的“子类”，并选中“With XIB for user interface”。

2)选择View，进入右边面板中的标识检查器(alt-command-3)。将“Class”改为UIToolbar。现在转到属性检查器(alt-command-4)，将“背景”颜色改为“清色”。

3)在主视图中添加子视图，并将其连接到接口中的IBOutlet。叫它backgroundColorView。它看起来像这样，是实现(.m)文件中的一个私有类别。

@interface BlurExampleViewController ()
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIView *backgroundColorView;
@end

4)转到视图控制器实现(.m)文件并更改-viewDidLoad方法，如下所示:

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];
    self.view.barStyle = UIBarStyleBlack; // this will give a black blur as in the original post
    self.backgroundColorView.opaque = NO;
    self.backgroundColorView.alpha = 0.5;
    self.backgroundColorView.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithWhite:0.3 alpha:1];
}

这将给你一个深灰色的视图，它模糊了它后面的一切。没有有趣的业务，没有缓慢的核心图像模糊，使用操作系统/SDK提供的一切。

你可以将这个视图控制器的视图添加到另一个视图，如下所示:

[self addChildViewController:self.blurViewController];
[self.view addSubview:self.blurViewController.view];
[self.blurViewController didMoveToParentViewController:self];

// animate the self.blurViewController into view

如果有什么不清楚的地方请告诉我，我很乐意帮忙!

Edit

UIToolbar在7.0.3中被改变，当使用彩色模糊时可能会产生不希望看到的效果。

我们过去能够使用barTintColor设置颜色，但如果你以前这样做，你将需要将alpha组件设置为小于1。否则你的UIToolbar将是完全不透明的颜色-没有模糊。

这可以通过如下方式实现:(记住self是UIToolbar的子类)

UIColor *color = [UIColor blueColor]; // for example
self.barTintColor = [color colorWithAlphaComponent:0.5];

这将给模糊的视图一个蓝色的色调。

下面是一个简单的方法来添加自定义模糊，而不用与私有api讨价还价使用UIViewPropertyAnimator:

首先，声明class属性:

var blurAnimator: UIViewPropertyAnimator!

然后在viewDidLoad()中设置你的模糊视图:

let blurEffectView = UIVisualEffectView()
blurEffectView.backgroundColor = .clear
blurEffectView.frame = view.bounds
blurEffectView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]
view.addSubview(blurEffectView)

blurAnimator = UIViewPropertyAnimator(duration: 1, curve: .linear) { [blurEffectView] in
    blurEffectView.effect = UIBlurEffect(style: .light)
}

blurAnimator.fractionComplete = 0.15 // set the blur intensity.    

注意:此解决方案不适用于UICollectionView/UITableView单元格

func blurBackgroundUsingImage(image: UIImage)
{
    var frame                   = CGRectMake(0, 0, self.view.frame.width, self.view.frame.height)
    var imageView               = UIImageView(frame: frame)
    imageView.image             = image
    imageView.contentMode       = .ScaleAspectFill
    var blurEffect              = UIBlurEffect(style: .Light)
    var blurEffectView          = UIVisualEffectView(effect: blurEffect)
    blurEffectView.frame        = frame
    var transparentWhiteView    = UIView(frame: frame)
    transparentWhiteView.backgroundColor = UIColor(white: 1.0, alpha: 0.30)
    var viewsArray              = [imageView, blurEffectView, transparentWhiteView]

    for index in 0..<viewsArray.count {
        if let oldView = self.view.viewWithTag(index + 1) {
            var oldView         = self.view.viewWithTag(index + 1)
            // Must explicitly unwrap oldView to access its removeFromSuperview() method as of Xcode 6 Beta 5
            oldView!.removeFromSuperview()
        }
        var viewToInsert        = viewsArray[index]
        self.view.insertSubview(viewToInsert, atIndex: index + 1)
        viewToInsert.tag        = index + 1
    }
}

这个答案是基于Mitja Semolic之前出色的回答。我已经将它转换为swift 3，添加了一个解释，在评论中发生了什么，使它成为一个UIViewController的扩展，这样任何VC都可以随意调用它，添加了一个未模糊的视图来显示选择性应用，并添加了一个完成块，以便调用视图控制器可以在完成模糊时做任何它想做的事情。

    import UIKit
//This extension implements a blur to the entire screen, puts up a HUD and then waits and dismisses the view.
    extension UIViewController {
        func blurAndShowHUD(duration: Double, message: String, completion: @escaping () -> Void) { //with completion block
            //1. Create the blur effect & the view it will occupy
            let blurEffect = UIBlurEffect(style: UIBlurEffectStyle.light)
            let blurEffectView = UIVisualEffectView()//(effect: blurEffect)
            blurEffectView.frame = self.view.bounds
            blurEffectView.autoresizingMask = [.flexibleWidth, .flexibleHeight]

        //2. Add the effect view to the main view
            self.view.addSubview(blurEffectView)
        //3. Create the hud and add it to the main view
        let hud = HudView.getHUD(view: self.view, withMessage: message)
        self.view.addSubview(hud)
        //4. Begin applying the blur effect to the effect view
        UIView.animate(withDuration: 0.01, animations: {
            blurEffectView.effect = blurEffect
        })
        //5. Halt the blur effects application to achieve the desired blur radius
        self.view.pauseAnimationsInThisView(delay: 0.004)
        //6. Remove the view (& the HUD) after the completion of the duration
        DispatchQueue.main.asyncAfter(deadline: .now() + duration) {
            blurEffectView.removeFromSuperview()
            hud.removeFromSuperview()
            self.view.resumeAnimationsInThisView()
            completion()
        }
    }
}

extension UIView {
    public func pauseAnimationsInThisView(delay: Double) {
        let time = delay + CFAbsoluteTimeGetCurrent()
        let timer = CFRunLoopTimerCreateWithHandler(kCFAllocatorDefault, time, 0, 0, 0, { timer in
            let layer = self.layer
            let pausedTime = layer.convertTime(CACurrentMediaTime(), from: nil)
            layer.speed = 0.0
            layer.timeOffset = pausedTime
        })
        CFRunLoopAddTimer(CFRunLoopGetCurrent(), timer, CFRunLoopMode.commonModes)
    }
    public func resumeAnimationsInThisView() {
        let pausedTime  = layer.timeOffset

        layer.speed = 1.0
        layer.timeOffset = 0.0
        layer.beginTime = layer.convertTime(CACurrentMediaTime(), from: nil) - pausedTime
    }
}

我已经确认它适用于iOS 10.3.1和iOS 11
