resizing UIImage the fastest and efficient way
In a performance sample of Image Resizing Techniques the score was
- 0.1420 UIKit
- 0.1722 Core Graphics
- 0.1616 Image I/O
- 2.4983 Core Image
- 2.3126 vImage
so the fastest and simplest way is:
let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: size)
let resized = renderer.image { (context) in
image.draw(in: CGRect(origin: .zero, size: size))
}
Resize a UIImage the right way is from 2009 but contains useful talk about interpolation quality and preserving the aspect ratio.
