Whatsapp like image compression
- (UIImage *)compressImage:(UIImage *)image{
float actualHeight = image.size.height;
float actualWidth = image.size.width;
float maxHeight = 600.0;
float maxWidth = 800.0;
float imgRatio = actualWidth/actualHeight;
float maxRatio = maxWidth/maxHeight;
float compressionQuality = 0.5;//50 percent compression
if (actualHeight > maxHeight || actualWidth > maxWidth) {
if(imgRatio < maxRatio){
//adjust width according to maxHeight
imgRatio = maxHeight / actualHeight;
actualWidth = imgRatio * actualWidth;
actualHeight = maxHeight;
}
else if(imgRatio > maxRatio){
//adjust height according to maxWidth
imgRatio = maxWidth / actualWidth;
actualHeight = imgRatio * actualHeight;
actualWidth = maxWidth;
}else{
actualHeight = maxHeight;
actualWidth = maxWidth;
}
}
CGRect rect = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, actualWidth, actualHeight);
// UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(rect.size);
// In next line, pass 0.0 to use the current device's pixel scaling factor (and thus account for Retina resolution).
// Pass 1.0 to force exact pixel size.
UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(rect.size, NO, 0.0);
[image drawInRect:rect];
UIImage *img = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(img, compressionQuality);
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
return [UIImage imageWithData:imageData];
