Display an image tkinter macOSX

Question

I've been searching for hours jumping from site to site from video to video searching for something that would work. Simply nothing worked for me!

from tkinter import *
import tkinter.messagebox

root = Tk()

photo = PhotoImage(file='download.jpg')
label = Label(root, image = photo)
label.pack()

root.mainloop()

Error:
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/python3.7 "/Users/Datboi/PycharmProjects/untitled2/Tkinter test.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/Datboi/PycharmProjects/untitled2/Tkinter test.py", line 6, in <module>
    photo = PhotoImage(file='download.jpg')
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/tkinter/__init__.py", line 3539, in __init__
    Image.__init__(self, 'photo', name, cnf, master, **kw)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/tkinter/__init__.py", line 3495, in __init__
    self.tk.call(('image', 'create', imgtype, name,) + options)
_tkinter.TclError: couldn't recognize data in image file "download.jpg"

Process finished with exit code 1

Im just simply trying to display a picture in certain dimensions but it doesn't recognise the image file. I'm searching for alternatives.
