How can I make a transparent background in tkinter using canvas?

Question

I need the background of the photo to be transparent; below is my code:

from tkinter import *
from PIL import ImageTk,Image
root=Tk()
root.geometry("300x300")
root.configure(bg="yellow")
image=Image.open("zombie.png")
image=image.resize((50,50))
img=ImageTk.PhotoImage(image)

canvas=Canvas(width=150, height=100,borderwidth=3,bd=0)
canvas.create_image(50,50,image=img)
canvas.pack()
root.mainloop()

tkinter canvas cannot has transparent background. Can you use the canvas as the background (instead of `root`) and put transparent PNG images on it? — acw1668, Mar 10 '20 at 00:47

It said in the link that setting `bg=''` will raise error. – acw1668 Mar 09 '20 at 23:43
