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 UIImageView, but I don't know how to do it.

Answer 1

Yes, it is possible.
Import the QuartzCore (#import <QuartzCore/QuartzCore.h>) header and play with the layer property of the UIImageView.

yourImageView.layer.cornerRadius = yourRadius;
yourImageView.clipsToBounds = YES;

See the CALayer class reference for more info.

Answer 2

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];

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
}

uiimageview.layer.cornerRadius = uiimageview.frame.size.height/2;
uiimageview.clipToBounds = YES;

    circleLayer.shadowColor = [[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor];
    circleLayer.shadowRadius = borderWidth;

    // Add the sublayer to the image view's layer tree

    //layer.borderWidth = borderWidth;
    //layer.borderColor = color;
}

Setting cornerRadius and clipsToBounds is the right way to do this. However if the view's size changes, the radius will not update. In order to get proper resizing and animation behavior, you need to create a UIImageView subclass.

class RoundImageView: UIImageView {
    override var bounds: CGRect {
        get {
            return super.bounds
        }
        set {
            super.bounds = newValue
            setNeedsLayout()
        }
    }

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        layer.cornerRadius = bounds.width / 2.0
        clipsToBounds = true
    }
}

Answer 7

Try this to get rounded corners of the image View and also to colour the corners:

imageView.layer.cornerRadius = imageView.frame.size.height/2;
imageView.layer.masksToBounds = YES;
imageView.layer.borderColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:148/255. green:79/255. blue:216/255. alpha:1.0].CGColor;
imageView.layer.borderWidth=2;

Condition*: The height and the width of the imageView must be same to get rounded corners.

1. layer.cornerRadius = imageviewHeight/2

2. layer.masksToBounds = true
