Memory consumption while loading a large image in uiimageview in
I am loading a UIImage of size 2480 × 3508 into UIImageView using UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit. I am getting memory warning while loading this image. And after i loaded a few images of this size in this UIImageView the application crashes. Is there any method to solve this. Solution to this problem consists of either loading scaled version of the image (*1) or you have option to display it in full resolution with help of CATiledLayer(*2). [UIImage imageWithCGImage:scale:orientation:]; CATiledLayer example Addendum: If your image source is Photo Library, ALASSet provides already scaled image
