CGSize size = [originalImage size];
int padding = 20;
int pictureSize = 300;
int startCroppingPosition = 100;
if (size.height > size.width) {
    pictureSize = size.width - (2.0 * padding);
    startCroppingPosition = (size.height - pictureSize) / 2.0; 
} else {
    pictureSize = size.height - (2.0 * padding);
    startCroppingPosition = (size.width - pictureSize) / 2.0;
}
// WTF: Don't forget that the CGImageCreateWithImageInRect believes that 
// the image is 180 rotated, so x and y are inverted, same for height and width.
CGRect cropRect = CGRectMake(startCroppingPosition, padding, pictureSize, pictureSize);
CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect([originalImage CGImage], cropRect);
UIImage *newImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef scale:1.0 orientation:originalImage.imageOrientation];

我所见过的大多数响应只处理(x, y)的位置(0,0)。好吧，这是一种情况，但我希望我的裁剪操作居中。我花了一些时间才弄清楚WTF注释后面的那行。

让我们以纵向捕获的图像为例:

原始图像的高度高于它的宽度(哇，到目前为止还没有什么奇怪的!) CGImageCreateWithImageInRect方法在它自己的世界中想象的图像并不是一个真正的肖像，而是一个景观(这也是为什么如果你不使用imageWithCGImage构造函数中的方向参数，它将显示为180旋转)。 你可以把它想象成一个横向，(0,0)位置是图像的右上角。

希望这是有意义的!如果没有，尝试不同的值，你会发现在为你的cropRect选择正确的x、y、宽度和高度时，逻辑是颠倒的。

这里没有一个答案能够100%正确地处理所有的缩放和旋转问题。以下是迄今为止所有内容的综合，最新的iOS7/8。它是作为一个方法被包含在UIImage的一个类别中。

- (UIImage *)croppedImageInRect:(CGRect)rect
{
    double (^rad)(double) = ^(double deg) {
        return deg / 180.0 * M_PI;
    };

    CGAffineTransform rectTransform;
    switch (self.imageOrientation) {
        case UIImageOrientationLeft:
            rectTransform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(rad(90)), 0, -self.size.height);
            break;
        case UIImageOrientationRight:
            rectTransform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(rad(-90)), -self.size.width, 0);
            break;
        case UIImageOrientationDown:
            rectTransform = CGAffineTransformTranslate(CGAffineTransformMakeRotation(rad(-180)), -self.size.width, -self.size.height);
            break;
        default:
            rectTransform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
    };
    rectTransform = CGAffineTransformScale(rectTransform, self.scale, self.scale);

    CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect([self CGImage], CGRectApplyAffineTransform(rect, rectTransform));
    UIImage *result = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef scale:self.scale orientation:self.imageOrientation];
    CGImageRelease(imageRef);

    return result;
}

注意:所有这些答案都假设一个cgimage支持的图像对象。

的形象。CGImage可以返回nil，如果UIImage是由CIImage支持的，如果你用CIFilter创建了这个图像。

在这种情况下，您可能必须在新的上下文中绘制图像，并返回该图像(缓慢)。

UIImage* crop(UIImage *image, rect) {
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(rect.size, false, [image scale]);
    [image drawAtPoint:CGPointMake(-rect.origin.x, -rect.origin.y)];
    cropped_image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return cropped_image;
}

swift3

extension UIImage {
    func crop(rect: CGRect) -> UIImage? {
        var scaledRect = rect
        scaledRect.origin.x *= scale
        scaledRect.origin.y *= scale
        scaledRect.size.width *= scale
        scaledRect.size.height *= scale
        guard let imageRef: CGImage = cgImage?.cropping(to: scaledRect) else {
            return nil
        }
        return UIImage(cgImage: imageRef, scale: scale, orientation: imageOrientation)
    }
}

 (UIImage *)squareImageWithImage:(UIImage *)image scaledToSize:(CGSize)newSize {
    double ratio;
    double delta;
    CGPoint offset;

    //make a new square size, that is the resized imaged width
    CGSize sz = CGSizeMake(newSize.width, newSize.width);

    //figure out if the picture is landscape or portrait, then
    //calculate scale factor and offset
    if (image.size.width > image.size.height) {
        ratio = newSize.width / image.size.width;
        delta = (ratio*image.size.width - ratio*image.size.height);
        offset = CGPointMake(delta/2, 0);
    } else {
        ratio = newSize.width / image.size.height;
        delta = (ratio*image.size.height - ratio*image.size.width);
        offset = CGPointMake(0, delta/2);
    }

    //make the final clipping rect based on the calculated values
    CGRect clipRect = CGRectMake(-offset.x, -offset.y,
                                 (ratio * image.size.width) + delta,
                                 (ratio * image.size.height) + delta);


    //start a new context, with scale factor 0.0 so retina displays get
    //high quality image
    if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] respondsToSelector:@selector(scale)]) {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(sz, YES, 0.0);
    } else {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(sz);
    }
    UIRectClip(clipRect);
    [image drawInRect:clipRect];
    UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    return newImage;
}

Swift 2.0更新(CIImage兼容)

扩展马克西姆的答案，但如果您的图像是基于CIImage的，也是有效的。

public extension UIImage {
    func imageByCroppingToRect(rect: CGRect) -> UIImage? {
        if let image = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(self.CGImage, rect) {
            return UIImage(CGImage: image)
        } else if let image = (self.CIImage)?.imageByCroppingToRect(rect) {
            return UIImage(CIImage: image)
        }
       return nil
   }
}
