Convert UIWebview contents to a UIImage when the webview is larger than the screen
I got the answer:
You have to set the frame of the Webview to the full content size just before you create the image. After this just set the size back to origin:
+ (UIImage *) imageFromWebView:(UIWebView *)view
{
// tempframe to reset view size after image was created
CGRect tmpFrame = view.frame;
// set new Frame
CGRect aFrame = view.frame;
aFrame.size.height = [view sizeThatFits:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size].height;
view.frame = aFrame;
// do image magic
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext([view sizeThatFits:[[UIScreen mainScreen] bounds].size]);
CGContextRef resizedContext = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
[view.layer renderInContext:resizedContext];
UIImage *image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
// reset Frame of view to origin
view.frame = tmpFrame;
return image;
}
D R's answer is fine. The only thing missing is taking into account the scale of screen. I have it corrected in my Swift version and it works fine for me.
extension UIWebView{
func snapshotForCompletePage() -> UIImage {
// tempframe to reset view size after image was created
let tmpFrame: CGRect = self.frame
// set full size Frame
var fullSizeFrame: CGRect = self.frame
fullSizeFrame.size.height = self.scrollView.contentSize.height
self.frame = fullSizeFrame
// here the image magic begins
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(fullSizeFrame.size, false, UIScreen.mainScreen().scale)
let resizedContext: CGContextRef = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!
self.layer.renderInContext(resizedContext)
let image: UIImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
// reset Frame of view to origin
self.frame = tmpFrame
return image
}
}
@Jibeex's answer worked for me. But I had to add the following code
fullSizeFrame.size.width = self.scrollView.contentSize.width
below
fullSizeFrame.size.height = self.scrollView.contentSize.height
for it to fully work. Writing as answer because I don't have enough reputation to comment.
