斯威夫特2.0:

使用扩展方法:

extension UIImage{

   class func renderUIViewToImage(viewToBeRendered:UIView?) -> UIImage
   {
       UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions((viewToBeRendered?.bounds.size)!, false, 0.0)
       viewToBeRendered!.drawViewHierarchyInRect(viewToBeRendered!.bounds, afterScreenUpdates: true)
       viewToBeRendered!.layer.renderInContext(UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!)

       let finalImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
       UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

       return finalImage
   }

}

用法:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    //Sample View To Self.view
    let sampleView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(100,100,200,200))
    sampleView.backgroundColor =  UIColor(patternImage: UIImage(named: "ic_120x120")!)
    self.view.addSubview(sampleView)    

    //ImageView With Image
    let sampleImageView = UIImageView(frame: CGRectMake(100,400,200,200))

    //sampleView is rendered to sampleImage
    var sampleImage = UIImage.renderUIViewToImage(sampleView)

    sampleImageView.image = sampleImage
    self.view.addSubview(sampleImageView)

 }

所有Swift 3的答案都不适合我，所以我翻译了最受欢迎的答案:

extension UIImage {
    class func imageWithView(view: UIView) -> UIImage {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(view.bounds.size, view.isOpaque, 0.0)
        view.layer.render(in: UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!)
        let img: UIImage? = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
        return img!
    }
}

插入式Swift 3.0扩展，支持新的iOS 10.0 API和以前的方法。

注意:

iOS版本检查 注意使用defer来简化上下文清理。 还将应用视图的不透明度和当前比例。 没有任何东西只是使用!这可能会导致坠机。

extension UIView
{
    public func renderToImage(afterScreenUpdates: Bool = false) -> UIImage?
    {
        if #available(iOS 10.0, *)
        {
            let rendererFormat = UIGraphicsImageRendererFormat.default()
            rendererFormat.scale = self.layer.contentsScale
            rendererFormat.opaque = self.isOpaque
            let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: self.bounds.size, format: rendererFormat)

            return
                renderer.image
                {
                    _ in

                    self.drawHierarchy(in: self.bounds, afterScreenUpdates: afterScreenUpdates)
                }
        }
        else
        {
            UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.bounds.size, self.isOpaque, self.layer.contentsScale)
            defer
            {
                UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
            }

            self.drawHierarchy(in: self.bounds, afterScreenUpdates: afterScreenUpdates)

            return UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        }
    }
}

将此添加到UIView Category的方法

- (UIImage*) capture {
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.bounds.size);
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    [self.layer renderInContext:context];
    UIImage *img = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return img;
}

目前接受的答案已经过时了，至少如果你支持iOS 7的话。

如果你只支持iOS7+，下面是你应该使用的:

+ (UIImage *) imageWithView:(UIView *)view
{
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(view.bounds.size, view.opaque, 0.0f);
    [view drawViewHierarchyInRect:view.bounds afterScreenUpdates:NO];
    UIImage * snapshotImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
    return snapshotImage;
}

斯威夫特4:

func imageWithView(view: UIView) -> UIImage? {
    UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(view.bounds.size, view.isOpaque, 0.0)
    defer { UIGraphicsEndImageContext() }
    view.drawHierarchy(in: view.bounds, afterScreenUpdates: true)
    return UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
}

根据这篇文章，你可以看到新的iOS7方法drawviewherarchyinrect:afterScreenUpdates:比renderInContext:快很多倍。

带有UIView扩展的Swift 3解决方案(基于Dima的回答)应该是这样的:

extension UIView {
    public func getSnapshotImage() -> UIImage {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.bounds.size, self.isOpaque, 0)
        self.drawHierarchy(in: self.bounds, afterScreenUpdates: false)
        let snapshotImage: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
        return snapshotImage
    }
}
