为什么这么复杂?我认为使用系统API可以达到同样的效果:

UIImage *largeImage;
CGFloat ratio = 0.4; // you want to get a new image that is 40% the size of large image.
UIImage *newImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:largeImage.CGImage
                                        scale:1/ratio
                                  orientation:largeImage.imageOrientation];
// notice the second argument, it is 1/ratio, not ratio.

唯一的问题是你应该传递目标比率的倒数作为第二个参数，因为根据文档，第二个参数指定原始图像与新缩放图像的比率。

我发现在你的Swift 3项目中很难找到一个开箱即用的答案。其他答案的主要问题是他们不尊重图像的alpha通道。这是我在我的项目中使用的技巧。

extension UIImage {

    func scaledToFit(toSize newSize: CGSize) -> UIImage {
        if (size.width < newSize.width && size.height < newSize.height) {
            return copy() as! UIImage
        }

        let widthScale = newSize.width / size.width
        let heightScale = newSize.height / size.height

        let scaleFactor = widthScale < heightScale ? widthScale : heightScale
        let scaledSize = CGSize(width: size.width * scaleFactor, height: size.height * scaleFactor)

        return self.scaled(toSize: scaledSize, in: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: scaledSize.width, height: scaledSize.height))
    }

    func scaled(toSize newSize: CGSize, in rect: CGRect) -> UIImage {
        if UIScreen.main.scale == 2.0 {
            UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newSize, !hasAlphaChannel, 2.0)
        }
        else {
            UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(newSize)
        }

        draw(in: rect)
        let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

        return newImage ?? UIImage()
    }

    var hasAlphaChannel: Bool {
        guard let alpha = cgImage?.alphaInfo else {
            return false
        }
        return alpha == CGImageAlphaInfo.first ||
            alpha == CGImageAlphaInfo.last ||
            alpha == CGImageAlphaInfo.premultipliedFirst ||
            alpha == CGImageAlphaInfo.premultipliedLast
    }
}

用法示例:

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    let size = CGSize(width: 14.0, height: 14.0)
    if let image = UIImage(named: "barbell")?.scaledToFit(toSize: size) {
        let imageView = UIImageView(image: image)
        imageView.center = CGPoint(x: 100, y: 100)
        view.addSubview(imageView)
    }
}

这段代码重写了Apple的扩展，增加了对有和没有alpha通道的图像的支持。

作为进一步的阅读，我建议查看这篇文章，了解不同的图像调整技术。目前的方法提供了不错的性能，它操作高级api，易于理解。我建议坚持使用它，除非您发现图像大小调整是性能的瓶颈。

如果你想做一个UIImage的缩略图(按比例调整大小或可能涉及到一些裁剪)，检查UIImage+Resize类别，它允许你使用简洁的，类似imagemagick的语法:

UIImage* squareImage       = [image resizedImageByMagick: @"320x320#"];

 func resizeImage(image: UIImage, newWidth: CGFloat) -> UIImage 
{
        let scale = newWidth / image.size.width
        let newHeight = image.size.height * scale
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(CGSizeMake(newWidth, newHeight))
        image.drawInRect(CGRectMake(0, 0, newWidth, newHeight))
        let newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
        return newImage
}

这是一个与Swift 3和Swift 4兼容的UIImage扩展，它可以将图像缩放到给定的大小

extension UIImage {

    func scaledImage(withSize size: CGSize) -> UIImage {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(size, false, 0.0)
        defer { UIGraphicsEndImageContext() }
        draw(in: CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: size.width, height: size.height))
        return UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
    }

    func scaleImageToFitSize(size: CGSize) -> UIImage {
        let aspect = self.size.width / self.size.height
        if size.width / aspect <= size.height {
            return scaledImage(withSize: CGSize(width: size.width, height: size.width / aspect))
        } else {
            return scaledImage(withSize: CGSize(width: size.height * aspect, height: size.height))
        }
    }

}

示例使用

let image = UIImage(named: "apple")
let scaledImage = image.scaleImageToFitSize(size: CGSize(width: 45.0, height: 45.0))

有时你的图像的比例大于1，所以调整图像大小会使图像意想不到。这就是这种情况下的解。

extension UIImage {
    func resizeTo(newSize: CGSize) -> UIImage {
        // Important thing here
        let format = UIGraphicsImageRendererFormat()
        format.scale = 1
        
        let image = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: newSize, format: format).image { _ in
            draw(in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: newSize))
        }
            
        return image.withRenderingMode(renderingMode)
    }
}
