[SOLVED] GRUB: No Background Image!!

Hi, I believe I messed something up.

I no longer have my background  when I boot my computer up into GRUB to select the day's session. Changing settings in grub-customizer and putting a new image there says it saves, but when I reboot, I am greeted with an ugly black screen with no BG. It seems like it's clicking because when I do

sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg

, it gives me the following output:

Generating grub configuration file ...

Is there anyway I an fix this or just reset GRUB entirely??

EDIT: I do not know why this worked, but exporting the original image to a PNG using GIMP and then running those commands has solved the GRUB boot screen.
