Image not showing (tkinter in python)

Question

When I try to insert the image into my Tkinter window all that shows up is this

import tkinter as tk
root = tk.Tk()
root.title("To Do List")
canvas = tk.Canvas(root, height=900, width=1000, bg='white')
frame = tk.Frame(root, bg="#000000")
img = tk.PhotoImage("deathnote.png")
entry = tk.Entry(frame, font='system', fg='white', bg='black')
imglabel = tk.Label(frame, image=img)
canvas.grid(row=0, column=0)
frame.place(relwidth=0.8, relheight=0.8, relx=0.1, rely=0.1)
imglabel.grid(row=0, column=2)
entry.grid(row=1, column=1)


root.mainloop()

Should be img = tk.PhotoImage(file="deathnote.png").

Try using PIL:

import tkinter as tk
from PIL import ImageTk, Image

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("To Do List")
canvas = tk.Canvas(root, height=900, width=1000, bg='white')
frame = tk.Frame(root, bg="#000000")
img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("deathnote.png"))
entry = tk.Entry(frame, font='system', fg='white', bg='black')
imglabel = tk.Label(frame, image=img)
canvas.grid(row=0, column=0)
frame.place(relwidth=0.8, relheight=0.8, relx=0.1, rely=0.1)
imglabel.grid(row=0, column=2)
entry.grid(row=1, column=1)


root.mainloop()

I was doing that previously and it says "_tkinter.TclError: couldn't recognize data in image file "deathnote.png"

Weird. that works for me. I just updated my answer. Look up and try it

If it matters I'm using Pycharm to do this. when I try to import PIL it doesn't recognize it and when I try to install it the error message is "Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement PIL (from versions: ) No matching distribution found for PIL"

Do not install "PIL". You have to install Pillow: pip3 install Pillow if you are using python 3 or pip install Pillow if you are using python 2
