How do I add an image to a python script using Tkinter

Question

I’m trying to add an image to a program with the following code:

from tkinter import * 

root = Tk()

imagem = PhotoImage(file="imagem")

lb = Label(root, imagem=imagem)

lb.place(x = 0, y = 20)

root.mainloop()

The image is saved in the same folder as the program code, but it still doesn’t work.

Gabriel,

On the line you instance to PhotoImage, the image name needs to contain the extension for the program to find it, if your image is a jpg for example, you put the name with . jpg at the end:

imagem = PhotoImage(file="imagem.jpg")

Also, when you inform the image on Label, you passed imagem=imagem, but is incorrect, the correct parameter of the Label is called image, without the M at the end:

lb = Label(root, image=imagem)

Correcting these points, your program would look like this:

from tkinter import * 

root = Tk()

imagem = PhotoImage(file="imagem.jpg")

lb = Label(root, image=imagem)

lb.place(x = 0, y = 20)

root.mainloop()
