what image types can tkinter use code example

Example 1: tkinter load image

from tkinter import *
from PIL import ImageTk, Image

root = Tk()

c = Canvas(root, width=500, height=500)
c.pack()

img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open(r"imagepath\imagename.extension"))
c.create_image(x, y, image=img, anchor=NW)

Example 2: make image to string to use in tkinter

with open("path/to/image.png", "rb") as image_file:
    image_data_base64_encoded_string = base64.b64encode(image_file.read())
