# scale The scale at which to render the image. ``` @MainActor final var scale: CGFloat { get set } ``` ## Discussion This value is a ratio of view points to image pixels. This relationship means that values greater than `1.0` create an image larger than the original content view, and less than `1.0` creates a smaller image. The following example shows a 100 x 50 rectangle view and an image rendered from it with a `scale` of `2.0`, resulting in an image size of 200 x 100. ``` let rectangle = Rectangle() .frame(width: 100, height: 50) let renderer = ImageRenderer(content: rectangle) renderer.scale = 2.0 if let rendered = renderer.cgImage { print("Scaled image: \(rendered.width) x \(rendered.height)") } // Prints "Scaled image: 200 x 100" ``` The default value of this property is `1.0`. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
