I'm building an app that can upload users' photos to a webservice, and with very high resolution images, this can be both very slow and data intensive. I was wondering if there was a way to reduce the camera resolution for my app, or reduce the resolution of the images I get back from the UIImagePickerController. I have compressed the images as much as I can before submitting them, but this is still very slow, especially on 3G connections.

See this post: What's the easiest way to resize/optimize an image size with the iPhone SDK?

You'll need to resize the image yourself before you upload the image if you want to speed up the upload process.

  • Thanks, maybe sometime in the future Apple will get the hint, and let developers set or at least select a maximum resolution for the camera for applications like this or image processing – Dan F Apr 01 '11 at 23:06
  • not the way to really lower the resolution to overcome memory warnings – OMGPOP Mar 18 '13 at 16:27
  • @OMGPOP; I'd be interested to hear your solution, if you have a better one. Cheers. – Jamie Chapman Mar 18 '13 at 21:49
