UIImageJPEGRepresentation is great function to downgrade the image.
I am just looking for downgrade the image to 1MB.
Yes there is a loopy way that we can apply multiple check until we receive 1024KB data count.
let image = UIImage(named: "test")!
if let imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image) {
let kb = imageData.count / 1024
if kb > 1024 {
let compressedData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 0.2)!
}
}
Any elegant solution please?
You can create a function
func resize(image:UIImage) -> Data? {
if let imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image){ //if there is an image start the checks and possible compression
let size = imageData.count / 1024
if size > 1024 { //if the image data size is > 1024
let compressionValue = CGFloat(1024 / size) //get the compression value needed in order to bring the image down to 1024
return UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, compressionValue) //return the compressed image data
}
else{ //if your image <= 1024 nothing needs to be done and return it as is
return imageData
}
}
else{ //if it cant get image data return nothing
return nil
}
}
