self.vcode.img = PhotoImage(d         


        

Answer 1

Tkinter 8.6 supports png file format while tkinter 8.5 does not. If you have the option upgrade python and you should be fine to use png. If you have to use an older version of python you should use Pillow (maintained pil fork) which also works on python3.

If you are starting a new project do not use python2 or PIL as suggested in the accepted answer, they are both depreciated technologies.
