Try something like that:

let fileName = "profileImage.png"
let path = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true).first! + "/" + fileName
let image = UIImage(contentsOfFile: path)

Then you can put image to UIImageView.

Other option (as Leo Dabus mentioned in comments bellow):

let fileName = "profileImage.png"
let fileURL = NSURL(fileURLWithPath: NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true).first!).URLByAppendingPathComponent(fileName)
if let imageData = NSData(contentsOfURL: fileURL) {
    let image = UIImage(data: imageData) // Here you can attach image to UIImageView
}

It might work but you shouldn't hard code your file path – Leo Dabus Nov 29 '15 at 22:02
Yes I know that, but here I show the simplest way to solve that problem. – Michał Kasprzyk Nov 29 '15 at 22:03

Simplest way is to use URLByAppendingPathComponent. Btw You should start getting used to NSURL instead of regular strings – Leo Dabus Nov 29 '15 at 22:05
Just append the file name (path component) to the documents directory url – Leo Dabus Nov 29 '15 at 22:23
I'm doing it with `URLByAppendingPathComponent`. – Michał Kasprzyk Nov 29 '15 at 22:25

You can use NSFileManager's method URLsForDirectory to get the document directory url and URLByAppendingPathComponent to append the file name to the original url:

if let fileURL = NSFileManager().URLsForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory, inDomains: .UserDomainMask).first?.URLByAppendingPathComponent("profileImage.png"),
    // get the data from the resulting url
    let imageData = NSData(contentsOfURL: fileURL),
    // initialise your image object with the image data
    let image = UIImage(data: imageData) {
    print(image.size)
}

In Swift 4.2:

func getImageFromDirectory (_ imageName: String) -> UIImage? {

    if let fileURL = FileManager().urls(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask).first?.appendingPathComponent("\(imageName).png") {
        // get the data from the resulting url
        var imageData : Data?
        do {
             imageData = try Data(contentsOf: fileURL)
        } catch {
            print(error.localizedDescription)
            return nil
        }
        guard let dataOfImage = imageData else { return nil }
        guard let image = UIImage(data: dataOfImage) else { return nil }
        return image
    }
    return nil
}
