Sometimes the image might be bigger than the size of canvas, then this process will crop the image. To get around this you have to use PIL. First install pillow from cmd prompt via: pip install pillow

Then use this code:

from tkinter import *
from PIL import Image
from PIL import ImageTk

root = Tk()

canvas = Canvas(root, width=200, height=200, bg='lightgray') #drawing canvas
canvas.pack()

#to insert image with width = 100 and height =100
width = 100
height = 100
img = #this will open image
img = img.resize((width, height), Image.ANTIALIAS) #this will resize image. Image.ANTIALIAS will help to mantain aspect ratio

PhotoImg = ImageTk.PhotoImage(img) #Will convert it into tkinter image format
canvas.create_image(0, 0, image=PhotoImg, anchor='nw')

root.mainloop()
