How to convert tkinter script which uses multiple image resources to .exe

I am trying to create an executable of my script, but running the .exe does not find the image. I have tried both onefile and multiples and pasting the images inside but it does not work.

These would be my images.

root = Tk()
root.title("Tai Project")
root.geometry("600x600")
root.resizable(0, 0)
img = PhotoImage(file="Tai_Project\ccc.png")
img_opo = PhotoImage(file="Tai_Project\opo.png")
img_label = PhotoImage(file="Tai_Project\labeltest.png")

You can use this function for all paths:

import sys
import os


def resource_path(relative_path):
    """ Get absolute path to resource, works for dev and for PyInstaller """
    try:
        # PyInstaller creates a temp folder and stores path in _MEIPASS
        base_path = sys._MEIPASS
    except Exception:
        base_path = os.path.abspath(".")
    return os.path.join(base_path, relative_path)

Usage example:

img = PhotoImage(file=resource_path("Tai_Project\ccc.png"))

Also in your .spec file you need to match directories in "datas" section like this:

a.datas  = [("Tai_Project\ccc.png","C:\\Users\\username\\projects\\my_project\\Tai_Project\\ccc.png", "DATA")]

This way your files will be included in .exe and will be available in TEMP directory which is created when you run your program.
