这是一个不改变原始图像颜色空间的解决方案。如果你想规范化一个灰度图像的方向，你不会幸运地使用所有基于UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions的解决方案，因为它在RGB颜色空间中创建了一个上下文。相反，你必须创建一个具有与原始图像相同属性的上下文并绘制:

extension UIImage {
    static let rotatedOrentations: [UIImage.Orientation] = [.left, .leftMirrored, .right, .rightMirrored]

    func normalizedImage() -> UIImage {
        if imageOrientation == .up {
            return self
        }

        let image = self.cgImage!
        let swapOrientation = UIImage.rotatedOrentations.contains(imageOrientation)
        let width = swapOrientation ? image.height : image.width
        let height = swapOrientation ? image.width : image.height
        let context = CGContext(data: nil, width: width, height: height, bitsPerComponent: image.bitsPerComponent, bytesPerRow: image.bytesPerRow, space: image.colorSpace!, bitmapInfo: image.bitmapInfo.rawValue)!
        let flipVertical = CGAffineTransform(a: 1, b: 0, c: 0, d: -1, tx: 0, ty: CGFloat(height));
        context.concatenate(flipVertical)
        UIGraphicsPushContext(context)
        self.draw(at: .zero)
        UIGraphicsPopContext()

        return UIImage(cgImage: context.makeImage()!)
    }
}

如果你启用了编辑，那么编辑后的图像(与原始图像相反)将按照预期的方向:

UIImagePickerController *imagePickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
imagePickerController.allowsEditing = YES;
// set delegate and present controller

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info {
    UIImage *photo = [info valueForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
    // do whatever
}

启用编辑功能允许用户在点击“使用照片”之前调整图像大小和移动图像

一个UIImage有一个imageOrientation属性，它指示UIImageView和其他UIImage消费者旋转原始图像数据。在上传的jpeg图像中，这个标志很有可能被保存到exif数据中，但是用于查看它的程序没有执行该标志。

为了在上传时旋转UIImage以正确显示，你可以使用这样的类别:

UIImage+fixOrientation.h

@interface UIImage (fixOrientation)

- (UIImage *)fixOrientation;

@end

UIImage+fixOrientation.m

@implementation UIImage (fixOrientation)

- (UIImage *)fixOrientation {

    // No-op if the orientation is already correct
    if (self.imageOrientation == UIImageOrientationUp) return self;

    // We need to calculate the proper transformation to make the image upright.
    // We do it in 2 steps: Rotate if Left/Right/Down, and then flip if Mirrored.
    CGAffineTransform transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;

    switch (self.imageOrientation) {
        case UIImageOrientationDown:
        case UIImageOrientationDownMirrored:
            transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(transform, self.size.width, self.size.height);
            transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(transform, M_PI);
            break;

        case UIImageOrientationLeft:
        case UIImageOrientationLeftMirrored:
            transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(transform, self.size.width, 0);
            transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(transform, M_PI_2);
            break;

        case UIImageOrientationRight:
        case UIImageOrientationRightMirrored:
            transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(transform, 0, self.size.height);
            transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(transform, -M_PI_2);
            break;
        case UIImageOrientationUp:
        case UIImageOrientationUpMirrored:
            break;
    }

    switch (self.imageOrientation) {
        case UIImageOrientationUpMirrored:
        case UIImageOrientationDownMirrored:
            transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(transform, self.size.width, 0);
            transform = CGAffineTransformScale(transform, -1, 1);
            break;

        case UIImageOrientationLeftMirrored:
        case UIImageOrientationRightMirrored:
            transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(transform, self.size.height, 0);
            transform = CGAffineTransformScale(transform, -1, 1);
            break;
        case UIImageOrientationUp:
        case UIImageOrientationDown:
        case UIImageOrientationLeft:
        case UIImageOrientationRight:
            break;
    }

    // Now we draw the underlying CGImage into a new context, applying the transform
    // calculated above.
    CGContextRef ctx = CGBitmapContextCreate(NULL, self.size.width, self.size.height,
                                             CGImageGetBitsPerComponent(self.CGImage), 0,
                                             CGImageGetColorSpace(self.CGImage),
                                             CGImageGetBitmapInfo(self.CGImage));
    CGContextConcatCTM(ctx, transform);
    switch (self.imageOrientation) {
        case UIImageOrientationLeft:
        case UIImageOrientationLeftMirrored:
        case UIImageOrientationRight:
        case UIImageOrientationRightMirrored:
            // Grr...
            CGContextDrawImage(ctx, CGRectMake(0,0,self.size.height,self.size.width), self.CGImage);
            break;

        default:
            CGContextDrawImage(ctx, CGRectMake(0,0,self.size.width,self.size.height), self.CGImage);
            break;
    }

    // And now we just create a new UIImage from the drawing context
    CGImageRef cgimg = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(ctx);
    UIImage *img = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:cgimg];
    CGContextRelease(ctx);
    CGImageRelease(cgimg);
    return img;
}

@end

以下是@an0给出的答案的Swift版本:

func normalizedImage() -> UIImage {

  if (self.imageOrientation == UIImageOrientation.Up) { 
      return self;
  }

  UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.size, false, self.scale);
  let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: self.size.width, height: self.size.height)
  self.drawInRect(rect)

  let normalizedImage : UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
  UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
  return normalizedImage;
}

也可以用在更一般的函数中:

func fixOrientation(img:UIImage) -> UIImage {

  if (img.imageOrientation == UIImageOrientation.Up) { 
      return img;
  }

  UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(img.size, false, img.scale);
  let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: img.size.width, height: img.size.height)
  img.drawInRect(rect)

  let normalizedImage : UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
  UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
  return normalizedImage;

}

Swift 3版本:

func fixOrientation(img: UIImage) -> UIImage {
    if (img.imageOrientation == .up) {
        return img
    }

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(img.size, false, img.scale)
    let rect = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: img.size.width, height: img.size.height)
    img.draw(in: rect)

    let normalizedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    return normalizedImage
}

Swift 4.x/5.0版本的@an0解决方案:

extension UIImage {
    func upOrientationImage() -> UIImage? {
        switch imageOrientation {
        case .up:
            return self
        default:
            UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, scale)
            draw(in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size))
            let result = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
            UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
            return result
        }
    }
}

这是一个基于@Anomie接受的答案的Swift 2的UIImage扩展。它使用了更清晰的开关外壳。它还会考虑CGBitmapContextCreateImage()返回的可选值。

extension UIImage {
    func rotateImageByOrientation() -> UIImage {
        // No-op if the orientation is already correct
        guard self.imageOrientation != .Up else {
            return self
        }

        // We need to calculate the proper transformation to make the image upright.
        // We do it in 2 steps: Rotate if Left/Right/Down, and then flip if Mirrored.
        var transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;

        switch (self.imageOrientation) {
        case .Down, .DownMirrored:
            transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(transform, self.size.width, self.size.height)
            transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(transform, CGFloat(M_PI))

        case .Left, .LeftMirrored:
            transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(transform, self.size.width, 0)
            transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(transform, CGFloat(M_PI_2))

        case .Right, .RightMirrored:
            transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(transform, 0, self.size.height)
            transform = CGAffineTransformRotate(transform, CGFloat(-M_PI_2))

        default:
            break
        }

        switch (self.imageOrientation) {
        case .UpMirrored, .DownMirrored:
            transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(transform, self.size.width, 0)
            transform = CGAffineTransformScale(transform, -1, 1)

        case .LeftMirrored, .RightMirrored:
            transform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(transform, self.size.height, 0)
            transform = CGAffineTransformScale(transform, -1, 1)

        default:
            break
        }

        // Now we draw the underlying CGImage into a new context, applying the transform
        // calculated above.
        let ctx = CGBitmapContextCreate(nil, Int(self.size.width), Int(self.size.height),
            CGImageGetBitsPerComponent(self.CGImage), 0,
            CGImageGetColorSpace(self.CGImage),
            CGImageGetBitmapInfo(self.CGImage).rawValue)
        CGContextConcatCTM(ctx, transform)
        switch (self.imageOrientation) {
        case .Left, .LeftMirrored, .Right, .RightMirrored:
            CGContextDrawImage(ctx, CGRectMake(0,0,self.size.height,self.size.width), self.CGImage)

        default:
            CGContextDrawImage(ctx, CGRectMake(0,0,self.size.width,self.size.height), self.CGImage)
        }

        // And now we just create a new UIImage from the drawing context
        if let cgImage = CGBitmapContextCreateImage(ctx) {
            return UIImage(CGImage: cgImage)
        } else {
            return self
        }
    }
}
