You can use pillow’s ImageTk to load the image directly as png.

import tkinter as tk
from PIL import Image, ImageTk
image_o = Image.open("photo.png")
image = ImageTk.PhotoImage(image_o)

#  Use image as to how you would in tkinter 

root = tk.Tk()
button = tk.Button(root, image = image)
button.pack()
root.mainloop()

Unlike tkinter‘s PhotoImage, which limits you to use only a certain type of images including the widespread gif file, ImageTk’s PhotoImage can take any PIL recognizable image type by having pillow to load it first.

If you don’t have pillow yet, do pip install pillow

Added: (thanks to Mike - SMT’s valuable comment)

In newer releases of tk/tkl 8.6+, tk natively supports png image format.

Warning: this version of tk isn’t supported in some python interpreters.
