UIImage extension to combine two images

uiimage_combine.swift

extension UIImage {
	
	class func imageByCombiningImage(firstImage: UIImage, withImage secondImage: UIImage) -> UIImage {
		
		let newImageWidth  = max(firstImage.size.width,  secondImage.size.width )
		let newImageHeight = max(firstImage.size.height, secondImage.size.height)
		let newImageSize = CGSize(width : newImageWidth, height: newImageHeight)
		
		
		UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newImageSize, false, UIScreen.mainScreen().scale)
		
		let firstImageDrawX  = round((newImageSize.width  - firstImage.size.width  ) / 2)
		let firstImageDrawY  = round((newImageSize.height - firstImage.size.height ) / 2)
		
		let secondImageDrawX = round((newImageSize.width  - secondImage.size.width ) / 2)
		let secondImageDrawY = round((newImageSize.height - secondImage.size.height) / 2)
		
		firstImage .drawAtPoint(CGPoint(x: firstImageDrawX,  y: firstImageDrawY))
		secondImage.drawAtPoint(CGPoint(x: secondImageDrawX, y: secondImageDrawY))
		
		let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
		
		UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
		
		
		return image
	}
}

not very smart. You're calling this already on an image instance, why passing both images as parameters?

We don't need to write first image. Let's look with point parameter:

Swift 5.x

// MARK: Merge Image

extension UIImage {

    func mergeImage(with secondImage: UIImage, point: CGPoint? = nil) -> UIImage {

        let firstImage = self
        let newImageWidth = max(firstImage.size.width, secondImage.size.width)
        let newImageHeight = max(firstImage.size.height, secondImage.size.height)
        let newImageSize = CGSize(width: newImageWidth, height: newImageHeight)

        UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(newImageSize, false, deviceScale)

        let firstImagePoint = CGPoint(x: round((newImageSize.width - firstImage.size.width) / 2),
                                      y: round((newImageSize.height - firstImage.size.height) / 2))

        let secondImagePoint = point ?? CGPoint(x: round((newImageSize.width - secondImage.size.width) / 2),
                                                y: round((newImageSize.height - secondImage.size.height) / 2))

        firstImage.draw(at: firstImagePoint)
        secondImage.draw(at: secondImagePoint)

        let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()

        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()

        return image ?? self
    }
}
