I think you can only use ico files for this.

For example:

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.iconbitmap(r'C:\Users\Alex\Desktop\Pythonmat\py.ico')
root.mainloop()

Try to convert the image to .ico. The iconbitmap function does not support jpg. You can alternetively use the PIL library to convert the image and then use it.
