在iOS9.2SDK上，我使用下面的方法将帧从UIView转换为UIImage

-(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;
}

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。

- (UIImage *)getSubImage:(CGRect) rect{
    CGImageRef subImageRef = CGImageCreateWithImageInRect(self.CGImage, rect);
    CGRect smallBounds = CGRectMake(rect.origin.x, rect.origin.y, CGImageGetWidth(subImageRef), CGImageGetHeight(subImageRef));

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(smallBounds.size);
    CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
    CGContextDrawImage(context, smallBounds, subImageRef);
    UIImage* smallImg = [UIImage imageWithCGImage:subImageRef];
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

    return smallImg;
}

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;
}

Swift 3版本

func cropImage(imageToCrop:UIImage, toRect rect:CGRect) -> UIImage{
    
    let imageRef:CGImage = imageToCrop.cgImage!.cropping(to: rect)!
    let cropped:UIImage = UIImage(cgImage:imageRef)
    return cropped
}


let imageTop:UIImage  = UIImage(named:"one.jpg")! // add validation

在这个桥接函数CGRectMake -> CGRect的帮助下(这个答案由@rob mayoff回答):

 func CGRectMake(_ x: CGFloat, _ y: CGFloat, _ width: CGFloat, _ height: CGFloat) -> CGRect {
    return CGRect(x: x, y: y, width: width, height: height)
}

用法是:

if var image:UIImage  = UIImage(named:"one.jpg"){
   let  croppedImage = cropImage(imageToCrop: image, toRect: CGRectMake(
        image.size.width/4,
        0,
        image.size.width/2,
        image.size.height)
    )
}

输出:

以下是基于面条回答的Swift 3更新版本

func cropping(to rect: CGRect) -> UIImage? {

    if let cgCrop = cgImage?.cropping(to: rect) {
        return UIImage(cgImage: cgCrop)
    }
    else if let ciCrop = ciImage?.cropping(to: rect) {
        return UIImage(ciImage: ciCrop)
    }

    return nil
}
