This is discussed in the documentation for ClientUser.edit:

Note

To upload an avatar, a bytes-like object must be passed in that represents the image being uploaded. If this is done through a file then the file must be opened via open('some_filename', 'rb') and the bytes-like object is given through the use of fp.read().

The only image formats supported for uploading is JPEG and PNG.

So you would do something like

with open(path_to_file, 'rb') as f:
    image = f.read()

await bot.user.edit(avatar=image)
