Image in UIImageView is larger than it should be... [Objective-c]

Hello, I have this bug where the UIImageView is small but the image that gets chosen takes up more space than the UIImageView and it makes it practically impossible to use the app. A screenshot of what the bug looks like: http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=d0c08e0, and a screenshot of what it should look like is here: http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/view/?id=078556b . The code for images:

- (IBAction)chooseImage:(id)sender {
    UIImagePickerController *imagePickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc]init];
    imagePickerController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
    imagePickerController.delegate = self;
    imagePickerController.sourceType =  UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypePhotoLibrary;

    [self presentViewController:imagePickerController animated:YES completion:nil];


}
-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingImage:(UIImage *)image editingInfo:(NSDictionary *)editingInfo{
    self.imageView.image=image;

    [picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:NO completion:nil];


}

    UIImage *image = [_imageView image];
    NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
    PFFile *imageFile = [PFFile fileWithName:@"image.png" data:imageData];
    [parseMessage setObject:imageFile forKey:@"picture"];

Essentially what I'm trying to do is make that image fit where its supposed to in the UIImageView. Thanks for any help!

Regards, Arman

select your imageView in your storyboard. in the attributes inspector, you should be able to change its content mode to ScaleAspectFit. that will make scale the image to fit in the imageView

You're looking for UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit :)
