Resize UIImage to 200x200pt/px

Question

I have been struggling resizing an image. Basically I have stumpled upon: How to scale down a UIImage and make it crispy / sharp at the same time instead of blurry?

If you're dealing with images that contain transparencies, then the accepted answer function will actually convert the transparent areas to black.

If you wish to scale and keep the transparencies in place, try this function:

func resizeImageWith(image: UIImage, newSize: CGSize) -> UIImage {

    let horizontalRatio = newSize.width / image.size.width
    let verticalRatio = newSize.height / image.size.height

    let ratio = max(horizontalRatio, verticalRatio)
    let newSize = CGSize(width: image.size.width * ratio, height: image.size.height * ratio)
    var newImage: UIImage

    if #available(iOS 10.0, *) {
        let renderFormat = UIGraphicsImageRendererFormat.default()
        renderFormat.opaque = false
        let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(size: CGSize(width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height), format: renderFormat)
        newImage = renderer.image {
            (context) in
            image.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height))
        }
    } else {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(CGSize(width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height), isOpaque, 0)
        image.draw(in: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: newSize.width, height: newSize.height))
        newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()!
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
    }

    return newImage
}
