Tkinter draw jpeg or png

Is it possible to draw a PNG or JPEG image to a tkinter.Canvas() without using any external packages, like PIL?

I would like to do something, like this:

canvas.create_image(x, y, image="some_png_image.png")

Or is it possible to convert the image to GIF, using only built-in packages?

According to the Tkinter documentation, the PhotoImage class can only load images from GIF and PGM files. To load an image of another type, or to convert the image to a GIF, you'll need an external package such as OpenCV or PIL.
