Escape the path by using two backslashes if you have any char with can be used with backslash. Here \f can be understood as form feed, so we used two backslashes.

import tkinter as tk
my_w=tk.Tk()
my_w.geometry('300x100')
my_w.title('www.plus2net.com')
my_w.iconbitmap('D:\\images\\favicon.ico')
my_w.mainloop()

Adding image using Label

import tkinter  as tk 
my_w = tk.Tk()
my_w.geometry("400x200")  

l1 = tk.Label(my_w,  width=15 )
l1.grid(row=1,column=1) 

my_img = tk.PhotoImage(file = "D:\\top2.png") 
l2 = tk.Label(my_w,  image=my_img )
l2.grid(row=1,column=2) 


my_w.mainloop()

You may change you path based on the location of the image file in your system.

Using a Button to add image.

We can place image over one Button

import tkinter as tk
my_w=tk.Tk()

my_w.geometry('300x100')
my_w.title('www.plus2net.com')
my_w.iconbitmap('D:\\images\\favicon.ico')
my_img = tk.PhotoImage(file = "D:/images/top2.png") 

b1=tk.Button(my_w,image=my_img)
b1.grid(row=1,column=1)
my_w.mainloop()

PIL ( Python Image Library)

For .jpg images we have to use PIL library.

from PIL import ImageTk, Image

If PIL ( Python Image Library ) is not installed then use PIP to install it. You can check the status by using this command and check all installed libraries.

%pip freeze

Here is the code to display Jpg image over a button.

import tkinter as tk
my_w=tk.Tk()
from PIL import Image,ImageTk
my_w.geometry('300x100')
my_w.title('www.plus2net.com')
my_img = ImageTk.PhotoImage(Image.open("D:/images/top2.jpg"))
b1=tk.Button(my_w,image=my_img)
b1.grid(row=1,column=1)
my_w.mainloop()
