You are recieving the image as base64 encoded text because you have given the data in the message parameter which is where the body of the email is supposed to go.

I rewritten the code, and this should work for you without a problem :)

import smtplib
from email.mime.multipart import MIMEMultipart
from email.mime.image import MIMEImage
import time
import os
from PIL import ImageGrab

s = smtplib.SMTP('smtp.gmail.com', 587)
s.starttls()
s.login("zainali90900666@gmail.com", "password")

msg = MIMEMultipart()
msg['Subject'] = 'Test Email'
msg['From'] = "zainali90900666@gmail.com"
msg['To'] = "zainali90900666@gmail.com"

while True:
    snapshot = ImageGrab.grab()

    # Using png because it cannot write mode RGBA as JPEG
    file = "scr.png"
    snapshot.save(file)

    # Opening the image file and then attaching it
    with open(file, 'rb') as f:
        img = MIMEImage(f.read())
        img.add_header('Content-Disposition', 'attachment', filename=file)
        msg.attach(img)

    os.remove(file)

    s.sendmail("zainali90900666@gmail.com", "zainali90900666@gmail.com", msg.as_string())

    # Change this value to your liking
    time.sleep(2)
