How do I resize the UIImage to reduce upload image size

by

Xcode 9 • Swift 4 or later

edit/update: For iOS10+ We can use UIGraphicsImageRenderer. For older Swift syntax check edit history.

extension UIImage {
    func resized(withPercentage percentage: CGFloat, isOpaque: Bool = true) -> UIImage? {
        let canvas = CGSize(width: size.width * percentage, height: size.height * percentage)
        let format = imageRendererFormat
        format.opaque = isOpaque
        return UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: canvas, format: format).image {
            _ in draw(in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: canvas))
        }
    }
    func resized(toWidth width: CGFloat, isOpaque: Bool = true) -> UIImage? {
        let canvas = CGSize(width: width, height: CGFloat(ceil(width/size.width * size.height)))
        let format = imageRendererFormat
        format.opaque = isOpaque
        return UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: canvas, format: format).image {
            _ in draw(in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: canvas))
        }
    }
}

Usage: 

let image = UIImage(data: try! Data(contentsOf: URL(string:"http://i.stack.imgur.com/Xs4RX.jpg")!))!

let thumb1 = image.resized(withPercentage: 0.1)
let thumb2 = image.resized(toWidth: 72.0)
