Tkinter button image is blank

Question

I tried to create a button with an image, but the image gets very small and black.

I searched all over the internet for a solution, but it's still not working.

This is part of my code:

ph = tk.PhotoImage(file = "X.gif")
btn = tk.Button(master = back, command = game, height = 10, width = 20)
btn.config(image = ph)
btn.image = ph
btn.grid(row = 0, column = 0)

Try removing the height and width parameters. What do you get then? — Miraj50, Nov 17 '18 at 16:42
If that is the case, you would have to use PIL, I guess. Have a look at this [question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4066202/resizing-pictures-in-pil-in-tkinter). — Miraj50, Nov 17 '18 at 16:48

I managed to do it by removing the height and width parameters in the Button constructor, and resizing the image.

Now the code is:

ph = tk.PhotoImage(file = "X.gif")
btn = tk.Button(master = back, command = game)
btn.config(image = ph)
btn.image = ph
btn.grid(row = 0, column = 0)

I understood that after defining the image, the width and the height are the size in pixels.
