How to adjust an UIButton's imageSize?
If I understand correctly what you're trying to do, you need to play with the buttons image edge inset. Something like:
myLikesButton.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsets(top: 30, left: 30, bottom: 30, right: 30)
Tim's answer is correct, however I wanted to add another suggestion, because in my case there was a simpler solution altogether.
I was looking to set the UIButton image insets because I didn't realize that I could set the content mode on the button's UIImageView, which would have prevented the need to use UIEdgeInsets and hard-coded values altogether. Simply access the underlying imageview on the button and set the content mode:
myButton.imageView.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;See UIButton doesn't listen to content mode setting?
Swift 3
myButton.imageView?.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit
Swift 3:
button.setImage(UIImage(named: "checkmark_white"), for: .normal)button.contentVerticalAlignment = .fillbutton.contentHorizontalAlignment = .fillbutton.imageEdgeInsets = UIEdgeInsetsMake(10, 10, 10, 10)
