Here is the exact code to resize your image to desired size

    CGSize itemSize = CGSizeMake(320,480); // give any size you want to give

    UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(itemSize);

    CGRect imageRect = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, itemSize.width, itemSize.height);

    [myimage drawInRect:imageRect];


    myimage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();  

    UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

Now my image is of your desired size
