Image not being displayed in tkinter python

I've been using tkinter for a while now and currently I am working on an app in which I need to display an image at the home screen. The problem is that though the code is fine, the image is not being displayed. This is the image:
This the code I am using. Please tell the problem:
from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
root = Tk()
root.geometry("1000x700")
root.minsize(1000, 700)
root.maxsize(1000, 700)
bg_img = Label(image=ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("image_processing20200410-19194-aihwb4.png")), compound=CENTER)
bg_img.pack(expand=1, fill=BOTH)
I have tried using the grid geometry manager but it is not working. Please help

When you add a PhotoImage to a Tkinter widget, you have to keep a separate reference to the image object. Otherwise, the image will not show up.

You need to define image object separately and then load it into Label:
from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
root = Tk()
root.geometry("1000x700")
root.resizable(False, False)
image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("image_processing20200410-19194-aihwb4.png"))
panel = Label(root, image=image)
panel.pack(expand=1, fill=BOTH)
root.mainloop()
Output:

try this code it might work
from PIL import Image
from PIL.ImageTk import PhotoImage
root = Tk()
root.geometry("1000x700")
root.minsize(1000, 700)
root.maxsize(1000, 700)
bg_img = Label(image=ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("Jitn6.png")), compound=CENTER)
bg_img.pack(expand=1, fill=BOTH)

you should do it like this
from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
root = Tk()
root.geometry("1000x700")
root.minsize(1000, 700)
root.maxsize(1000, 700)
my_image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("image_processing20200410-19194-aihwb4.png"))
bg_img = Label(image=my_image, compound=CENTER)
bg_img.pack(expand=1, fill=BOTH)
you should first put the image in a variable then pass it in

Tkinter Photo Image Issues

I am trying to run sample code and I am running into a problem where sublime says "_tkinter.TclError: couldn't recognize data in image file "C:\Users\atave\Dropbox\Python\tkinter Python Tutorial\Labels\prac.png". Can anyone tell me why? I have already set up sublime as an exception in the firewall, does it have to do with the location of the image?
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import ttk
# create the root window
root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry('300x200')
root.resizable(False, False)
root.title('Label Widget Image')
# display an image label
photo = tk.PhotoImage(file="C:\\Users\\atave\\Dropbox\\Python\\tkinter Python Tutorial\\Labels\\prac.png")
image_label = ttk.Label(
root,
image=photo,
padding=5
)
image_label.pack()
root.mainloop()

the tk.PhotoImage doesn't work that well with .png files. I would suggest conversion to .bmp file or using PIL(Pillow) module- tk.PhotoImage(ImageTk.PhotoImage(file="C:\\Users\\atave\\Dropbox\\Python\\tkinter Python Tutorial\\Labels\\prac.png")
The ImageTk in ImageTk.PhotoImage() is imported from PIL(from PIL import ImageTk)

How to make a file open by default with tkinter app?

I made a tkinter app for displaying images, and I was wondering if there's a way to make an image open by default with this app
At the moment if I try that, I get an error for some non declared icon file (this is the icon that appears near the name of the app at the top)
There's no real goal behin this Gui, I'm just experimenting and learning.
Thanks

Try this:
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import filedialog
my_img = []
def FileImport():
file = filedialog.askopenfilename()
my_img.clear()
my_img.append(ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(file)))
label1.config(image=my_img[0])
root= tk.Tk()
root.title('Main')
root.geometry('400x400')
label = tk.Label(root, text = "Browse", fg="purple")
label.pack()
button = tk.Button(root, text='See Image',fg="blue", command=FileImport)
button.pack()
my_img.append(ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(your_first_image)))
label1 = tk.Label(root, image = my_img[0])
label1.pack(pady= 50)
root.mainloop()
When you run this:
After you tap to see different image from computer:
Hope It helps!

Setting Background image to GUI

I made a GUI with few buttons and I want to change the gray background to an image.
my code looks like this:
from tkinter import *
from urlread import givenumbers # my function
""" Setting The Main GUI """
GUI = Tk()
GUI.title('Check GUI')
GUI.iconbitmap('test.ico')
GUI.geometry("400x400")
background_image=PhotoImage('pic.jpg')
background_label = Label(GUI, image=background_image)
background_label.place(x=0, y=0, relwidth=1, relheight=1)
""" Reading Images For Buttons """
A_Im = PhotoImage(file='A.gif')
""" Creating Buttons """
# A Button
A_Button = Button(GUI, image=A_Im, command=givenumbers)
A_Button.grid(column=0, row=1)
GUI.mainloop()
The code runs without error but the background is still gray without any effect.

The problem is in the line background_image=PhotoImage('pic.jpg'). The PhotoImage class only supports GIF-files, which means that it cannot read the file you're specifying. You should try something like this:
#Python 2.7
import Tkinter as tk
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
window = tk.Tk()
image = Image.open('image.jpg')
photo_image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
label = tk.Label(window, image = photo_image)
label.pack()
# Python 3
import tkinter as tk
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
window = tk.Tk()
image = Image.open('image.jpg')
photo_image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
label = tk.Label(window, image = photo_image)
label.pack()
The Image class from the PIL module supports a variety of formats, among which jpeg and png. You can install the PIL module by running pip install pillow in a command prompt or terminal.
If you want to put the widgets on top of the Label, you could indeed using grid to get them on top of each other, but using a Canvas would probably be easier. You can find more about the Canvas widget here.

This can be done without pil also:
from tkinter import *
import tkinter as ttk
""" Setting The Main GUI """
GUI = Tk()
F1=Frame(GUI)
F1=Frame(GUI,width=400,height=450)
F1.place(height=7000, width=4000, x=100, y=100)
F1.config()
F1.grid(columnspan=10,rowspan=10)
F1.grid_rowconfigure(0,weight=1)
F1.grid_columnconfigure(0,weight=1)
photo=PhotoImage(file="C:\\Users\\HOME\\Desktop\\Eshita\\12th\\computer
\\python\\GUI\\math3.gif")
label = Label(GUI,image = photo)
label.image = photo # keep a reference!
label.grid(row=0,column=0,columnspan=20,rowspan=20)
b=ttk.Button(GUI,text="Start")
b.grid(row=8,column=8)
GUI.mainloop()

Not being able to load an image in python

I am trying to load an image into a canvas in python. However I am getting the error: TclError: couldn't recognize data in image file "C:\testimage\spongesea.jpg"
import Tkinter
from Tkinter import *
import time
import inspect
import os
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
class game_one:
def __init__(self):
global root
global canvas_one
root = Tk()
root.title(" Thanks Josh Dark
canvas_one = Tkinter.Canvas(root, bg="BLACK")
canvas_one.pack(expand= YES, fill= BOTH)
canvas_one.focus_set() #allows keyboard events
p = PhotoImage(file="C:\testimage\spongesea.jpg")
canvas_one.create_image(0, 0, image = p, anchor=NW)
root.grab_set()#I forget what this does. Don't change it.
root.lift()#This makes root appear in front of the other applications
ObjectExample = game_one()# starts the animation
I can open the image manually from the file, so it is not corrupted, and it is calling the correct place. Any ideas? Thanks

PhotoImage works only with GIF and PGM/PPM.
You have to use Image, ImageTk to work with other formats
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
image = Image.open("lenna.jpg")
photo = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)
BTW: read PhotoImage and see "Garbage Collection problem" in note.
