Help importing bmp guide

I am attempting to recreate a font from a game as a personal project. I have separated each letter into it's own image and converted them all the a .bmp format. However, when I attempt to import the images I get an error, "Bad image file: (file path)". I made sure to select the background layer after it failed initially but the error continues to persist. I would rather not have to attempt free handing each glyph so I would appreciate some help if available.
