我使用下面的方法。

  -(UIImage *)getNeedImageFrom:(UIImage*)image cropRect:(CGRect)rect
  {
    CGSize cropSize = rect.size;
    CGFloat widthScale =  
    image.size.width/self.imageViewOriginal.bounds.size.width;
    CGFloat heightScale = 
    image.size.height/self.imageViewOriginal.bounds.size.height;
    cropSize = CGSizeMake(rect.size.width*widthScale,  
    rect.size.height*heightScale);
    CGPoint  pointCrop = CGPointMake(rect.origin.x*widthScale, 
    rect.origin.y*heightScale);
    rect = CGRectMake(pointCrop.x, pointCrop.y, cropSize.width, 
    cropSize.height);
    CGImageRef subImage = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(image.CGImage, rect);
    UIImage *croppedImage = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:subImage];
    CGImageRelease(subImage);
    return croppedImage;

}

更新2014-05-28:我写这篇文章的时候，iOS 3左右还是热门的新事物，我相信现在有更好的方法来做到这一点，可能是内置的。正如很多人提到的，这种方法没有考虑到轮换;阅读一些额外的答案，并散布一些点赞的爱，让这个问题的回答对每个人都有帮助。

最初的反应:

我将把我对相同问题的回答复制/粘贴到其他地方:

没有一个简单的类方法可以做到这一点，但有一个函数可以使用来获得所需的结果:CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(CGImageRef, CGRect)将帮助您解决这个问题。

下面是一个简短的例子:

CGImageRef imageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect([largeImage CGImage], cropRect);
// or use the UIImage wherever you like
[UIImageView setImage:[UIImage imageWithCGImage:imageRef]]; 
CGImageRelease(imageRef);

在Swift中裁剪UIImage的最佳解决方案，在精度方面，像素缩放…:

private func squareCropImageToSideLength(let sourceImage: UIImage,
    let sideLength: CGFloat) -> UIImage {
        // input size comes from image
        let inputSize: CGSize = sourceImage.size

        // round up side length to avoid fractional output size
        let sideLength: CGFloat = ceil(sideLength)

        // output size has sideLength for both dimensions
        let outputSize: CGSize = CGSizeMake(sideLength, sideLength)

        // calculate scale so that smaller dimension fits sideLength
        let scale: CGFloat = max(sideLength / inputSize.width,
            sideLength / inputSize.height)

        // scaling the image with this scale results in this output size
        let scaledInputSize: CGSize = CGSizeMake(inputSize.width * scale,
            inputSize.height * scale)

        // determine point in center of "canvas"
        let center: CGPoint = CGPointMake(outputSize.width/2.0,
            outputSize.height/2.0)

        // calculate drawing rect relative to output Size
        let outputRect: CGRect = CGRectMake(center.x - scaledInputSize.width/2.0,
            center.y - scaledInputSize.height/2.0,
            scaledInputSize.width,
            scaledInputSize.height)

        // begin a new bitmap context, scale 0 takes display scale
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(outputSize, true, 0)

        // optional: set the interpolation quality.
        // For this you need to grab the underlying CGContext
        let ctx: CGContextRef = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
        CGContextSetInterpolationQuality(ctx, kCGInterpolationHigh)

        // draw the source image into the calculated rect
        sourceImage.drawInRect(outputRect)

        // create new image from bitmap context
        let outImage: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()

        // clean up
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

        // pass back new image
        return outImage
}

调用此函数的指令:

let image: UIImage = UIImage(named: "Image.jpg")!
let squareImage: UIImage = self.squareCropImageToSideLength(image, sideLength: 320)
self.myUIImageView.image = squareImage

注意:最初的源代码灵感是用Objective-C写的，可以在Cocoanetics博客上找到。

这是我的UIImage作物实现，它遵从imageOrientation属性。所有方向都经过了彻底的测试。

inline double rad(double deg)
{
    return deg / 180.0 * M_PI;
}

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

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

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)
    }
}

迅速扩展

extension UIImage {
    func crop(var rect: CGRect) -> UIImage {
        rect.origin.x*=self.scale
        rect.origin.y*=self.scale
        rect.size.width*=self.scale
        rect.size.height*=self.scale

        let imageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(self.CGImage, rect)
        let image = UIImage(CGImage: imageRef, scale: self.scale, orientation: self.imageOrientation)!
        return image
    }
}
