IOS: create a UIImage or UIImageView with rounded corners

Question

Is it possible create an UIImage or an UIImageView with rounded corners? Because I want take an UIImage and show it inside an UI

Answer 1

Try this Code For Round Image Import QuartzCore framework simple way to create Round Image

imageView.layer.backgroundColor=[[UIColor clearColor] CGColor];
imageView.layer.cornerRadius=20;
imageView.layer.borderWidth=2.0;
imageView.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
imageView.layer.borderColor=[[UIColor redColor] CGColor];

// UIImageView+OSExt.h
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface UIImageView (OSExt)
- (void)setBorder:(CGFloat)borderWidth color:(UIColor*)color;
@end

// UIImageView+OSExt.m
#import "UIImageView+OSExt.h"

@implementation UIImageView (OSExt)
- (void)layoutSublayersOfLayer:(CALayer *)layer
{
    for ( CALayer *sub in layer.sublayers )
    {
        if ( YES == [sub.name isEqual:@"border-shape"])
        {
            CGFloat borderHalf = floor([(CAShapeLayer*)sub lineWidth] * .5);
            sub.frame = layer.bounds;
            [sub setBounds:CGRectInset(layer.bounds, borderHalf, borderHalf)];
            [sub setPosition:CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(layer.bounds),
                                       CGRectGetMidY(layer.bounds))];
        }
    }
}

- (void)setBorder:(CGFloat)borderWidth color:(UIColor*)color
{
    assert(self.frame.size.width == self.frame.size.height);
    for ( CALayer *sub in [NSArray arrayWithArray:self.layer.sublayers] )
    {
        if ( YES == [sub.name isEqual:@"border-shape"])
        {
            [sub removeFromSuperlayer];
            break;
        }
    }

    CGFloat borderHalf = floor(borderWidth * .5);
    self.layer.cornerRadius = self.layer.bounds.size.width * .5;

    CAShapeLayer *circleLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
    self.layer.delegate = (id<CALayerDelegate>)self;
    circleLayer.name = @"border-shape";
    [circleLayer setBounds:CGRectInset(self.bounds, borderHalf, borderHalf)];
    [circleLayer setPosition:CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(self.layer.bounds),
                                         CGRectGetMidY(self.layer.bounds))];
    [circleLayer setPath:[[UIBezierPath bezierPathWithOvalInRect:circleLayer.bounds] CGPath]];
    [circleLayer setStrokeColor:color.CGColor];
    [circleLayer setFillColor:[UIColor clearColor].CGColor];
    [circleLayer setLineWidth:borderWidth];

    {
    circleLayer.shadowOffset = CGSizeZero;
    circleLayer.shadowColor = [[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor];
    circleLayer.shadowRadius = borderWidth;
    circleLayer.shadowOpacity = .9f;
    circleLayer.shadowOffset = CGSizeZero;
    }

    // Add the sublayer to the image view's layer tree
    [self.layer addSublayer:circleLayer];

    // old variant
    //CALayer *layer = self.layer;
    //layer.masksToBounds = YES;
    //layer.cornerRadius = self.frame.size.width * 0.5;
    //layer.borderWidth = borderWidth;
    //layer.borderColor = color;
}

It is possible but I'll advice you to create transparent png image (mask) with round corners and place it over you image with UIImageView. It might be quicker solution (for example if you need animations or scrolling).

Answer 4

1. layer.cornerRadius = imageviewHeight/2

2. layer.masksToBounds = true

Answer 5

Objective-C

-(UIImage *)makeRoundedImage:(UIImage *) image 
                      radius: (float) radius;
{
  CALayer *imageLayer = [CALayer layer];
  imageLayer.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, image.size.width, image.size.height);
  imageLayer.contents = (id) image.CGImage;

  imageLayer.masksToBounds = YES;
  imageLayer.cornerRadius = radius;

  UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(image.size);
  [imageLayer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
  UIImage *roundedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
  UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

  return roundedImage;
}

Swift 3

func makeRoundedImage(image: UIImage, radius: Float) -> UIImage {
    var imageLayer = CALayer()
    imageLayer.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: image.size.width, height: image.size.height)
    imageLayer.contents = image.cgImage

    imageLayer.masksToBounds = true
    imageLayer.cornerRadius = radius

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(image.size)
    imageLayer.render(in: UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext())
    var roundedImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
    UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

    return roundedImage
}

Here how i set my rounded avatar at the center of it contain view:

-(void)setRoundedAvatar:(UIImageView *)avatarView toDiameter:(float)newSize atView:(UIView *)containedView;
{
    avatarView.layer.cornerRadius = newSize/2;
    avatarView.clipsToBounds = YES;

    avatarView.frame = CGRectMake(0, 0, newSize, newSize);
    CGPoint centerValue = CGPointMake(containView.frame.size.width/2, containedView.frame.size.height/2);
    avatarView.center = centerValue;
}
