YPImagePicker

YPImagePicker is an instagram-like photo/video picker for iOS written in pure Swift. It comes with adjustable square crop and filters.

Give it a quick try :
pod repo update then pod try YPImagePicker

? Library - ? Photo - ? Video - ✂️ Crop - ⚡️ Flash - ? Filters

Those features are available just with a few lines of code!

Improvements

YPImagePicker was built from the great Fusuma library.

Here are the improvements we added :

  • Albums
  • Filters
  • Videos in the library
  • Both Square and non-square images
  • Permission managenent
  • Pan between tabs which feels smoother
  • Improve Overall Code Quality
  • Simplify API
  • Replaces icons with lighter Text
  • Preselect Front camera (e.g for avatars)
  • Replaces Delegate based with callbacks based api
  • Uses Native Navigation bar over custom View (gotta be a good UIKit citizen)
  • Faster library load
  • Hidden status bar for a more immersive XP
  • Flash Auto mode
  • Video Torch Mode
  • iPhone X support

  • Privacy - Microphone Usage Description (videos)
<key>NSCameraUsageDescription</key>
<string>yourWording</string>
<key>NSPhotoLibraryUsageDescription</key>

<key>NSMicrophoneUsageDescription</key>
<string>yourWording</string>

Configuration

var config = YPImagePickerConfiguration()
config.onlySquareImagesFromLibrary = false
config.onlySquareImagesFromCamera = true
config.libraryTargetImageSize = .original
config.usesFrontCamera = true
config.showsFilters = true
config.shouldSaveNewPicturesToAlbum = true
config.videoCompression = AVAssetExportPresetHighestQuality
config.albumName = "MyGreatAppName"
config.screens = [.library, .photo, .video]
config.startOnScreen = .library
config.videoRecordingTimeLimit = 10
config.videoFromLibraryTimeLimit = 20
config.showsCrop = .rectangle(ratio: (16/9))
config.wordings.libraryTitle = "Gallery"
config.hidesStatusBar = false
config.overlayView = myOverlayView

// Build a picker with your configuration
let picker = YPImagePicker(configuration: config)

Default Configuration

// Set the default configuration for all pickers
YPImagePicker.setDefaultConfiguration(config)

// And then use the default configuration like so:
let picker = YPImagePicker()

Usage

import YPImagePicker then use the following:

let picker = YPImagePicker()

// unowned is Mandatory since it would create a retain cycle otherwise :)
picker.didSelectImage = { [unowned picker] img in
    // image picked
    print(img.size)
    self.imageView.image = img
    picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
picker.didSelectVideo = { videoData, videoThumbnailImage in
    // video picked
    self.imageView.image = videoThumbnailImage
    picker.dismiss(animated: true, completion: nil)
}
picker.didCancel = {
  print("Did Cancel")
}
present(picker, animated: true, completion: nil)
