How to flip UIImage horizontally with Swift?


ios swift uiimage flip

For me the simplest way was to use the .withHorizontallyFlippedOrientation() instance method of UIImage as follows:

let flippedImage = straightImage.withHorizontallyFlippedOrientation()

Simple one-liners always make me happy :)

In Swift.... (6.3.1)

YourUIImage.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(-1, 1)

This also works with a UIView

Most factory methods are converted to initializers in swift. Whenever available, even if the class method is still available, they are preferred. You can use:

    init(CGImage cgImage: CGImage!, scale: CGFloat, orientation: UIImageOrientation)

The usage would look like this:

var image = UIImage(CGImage: img.CGImage, scale: 1.0, orientation: .DownMirrored)

Swift 5

var image = UIImage(cgImage: img.cgImage!, scale: 1.0, orientation: .downMirrored)
