Making a UIImage to a circle form

Question

I have been trying to mask a UIImage into a circle. I\'m using now the code that has been popular on other answers here, but although I do get a circle its edges are very ja

If you are using an UIImageView and you are looking to animate the size of the image while maintaining the rounded corners, you can apply a transformation as follows:

Objective-C

// Our UIImageView reference
@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIImageView *myImageView;

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];

     myImageView.layer.cornerRadius = myImageView.frame.size.width / 2.0f;
     myImageView.transform = CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformIdentity, 0.4f, 0.4f);
}

- (void)viewDidAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [UIView animateWithDuration:1.0 animations:^{
        myImageView.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
    }];
}

Swift

// Our UIImageView reference
@IBOutlet weak var myImageView:UIImageView!

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()

    myImageView.layer.cornerRadius = myImageView.frame.size.width / 2;
    myImageView.transform = CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformIdentity, 0.4, 0.4)
}

override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
    UIView.animateWithDuration(1.0) {
        myImageView.transform = CGAffineTransformIdentity;
    }
}

NOTE: This will also maintain any AutoLayout constraints.
