How to crop fixed size UIImage?

Question

I have a size with dimensions (0,0,320,460) How to crop this image to size (10,30,300,300)

Answer 1

- (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; // do something...... UIImage *croppedImage = [self imageByCropping:[UIImage imageNamed:@"SomeImage.png"] toRect:CGRectMake(10, 10, 100, 100)]; } - (UIImage*)imageByCropping:(UIImage *)imageToCrop toRect:(CGRect)rect { CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect([imageToCrop CGImage], rect); UIImage *cropped = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef]; return cropped; } 

Answer 2

The size of the target in my code is always set to the full screen size of the device (so you need to change it).

 @implementation UIImage (Extras) #pragma mark - #pragma mark Scale and crop image - (UIImage*)imageByScalingAndCroppingForSize:(CGSize)targetSize { UIImage *sourceImage = self; UIImage *newImage = nil; CGSize imageSize = sourceImage.size; CGFloat width = imageSize.width; CGFloat height = imageSize.height; CGFloat targetWidth = targetSize.width; CGFloat targetHeight = targetSize.height; CGFloat scaleFactor = 0.0; CGFloat scaledWidth = targetWidth; CGFloat scaledHeight = targetHeight; CGPoint thumbnailPoint = CGPointMake(0.0,0.0); if (CGSizeEqualToSize(imageSize, targetSize) == NO) { CGFloat widthFactor = targetWidth / width; CGFloat heightFactor = targetHeight / height; if (widthFactor > heightFactor) { scaleFactor = widthFactor; // scale to fit height } else { scaleFactor = heightFactor; // scale to fit width } scaledWidth = width * scaleFactor; scaledHeight = height * scaleFactor; // center the image if (widthFactor > heightFactor) { thumbnailPoint.y = (targetHeight - scaledHeight) * 0.5; } else { if (widthFactor < heightFactor) { thumbnailPoint.x = (targetWidth - scaledWidth) * 0.5; } } } UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(targetSize); // this will crop CGRect thumbnailRect = CGRectZero; thumbnailRect.origin = thumbnailPoint; thumbnailRect.size.width = scaledWidth; thumbnailRect.size.height = scaledHeight; [sourceImage drawInRect:thumbnailRect]; newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext(); if(newImage == nil) { NSLog(@"could not scale image"); } //pop the context to get back to the default UIGraphicsEndImageContext(); return newImage; }
