下面是Swift中使用CIGaussianBlur的快速实现:

func blur(image 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);
    let result = filter?.valueForKey(kCIOutputImageKey) as! CIImage;
    let rect = CGRectMake(radius * 2, radius * 2, image.size.width - radius * 4, image.size.height - radius * 4)
    let cgImage = context.createCGImage(result, fromRect: rect);
    let returnImage = UIImage(CGImage: cgImage);

    return returnImage;
}

公认的答案是正确的，但这里缺少一个重要的步骤，如果这个视图-您想要模糊的背景-是使用

[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil]

默认情况下，这将抵消模糊，因为UIKit删除演示者的视图，这实际上是模糊的。为了避免这种删除，将这一行添加到前一行之前

vc。modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverFullScreen;

或者使用其他Over样式。

这是乔伊回答的重要补充

这适用于你想用UINavigationController呈现一个模糊背景的UIViewController的情况。

// suppose you've done blur effect with your presented view controller
UINavigationController *nav = [[UINavigationController alloc] initWithRootViewController];

// this is very important, if you don't do this, the blur effect will darken after view did appeared
// the reason is that you actually present navigation controller, not presented controller
// please note it's "OverFullScreen", not "OverCurrentContext"
nav.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverFullScreen;

UIViewController *presentedViewController = [[UIViewController alloc] init]; 
// the presented view controller's modalPresentationStyle is "OverCurrentContext"
presentedViewController.modalPresentationStyle = UIModalPresentationOverCurrentContext;

[presentingViewController presentViewController:nav animated:YES completion:nil];

享受吧!

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
    }
}

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)

下面是Swift中使用CIGaussianBlur的快速实现:

func blur(image 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);
    let result = filter?.valueForKey(kCIOutputImageKey) as! CIImage;
    let rect = CGRectMake(radius * 2, radius * 2, image.size.width - radius * 4, image.size.height - radius * 4)
    let cgImage = context.createCGImage(result, fromRect: rect);
    let returnImage = UIImage(CGImage: cgImage);

    return returnImage;
}
