Could you build this?
No The product is a set of hand-optimized SIMD image codecs (JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, JPEG 2000, JBIG2) that must match or beat libjpeg-turbo and other native reference libraries. Vibe coding can scaffold the file formats but not the performance-critical kernels or the spec-compliance depth.
What it would actually take: A real version needs a managed C# codebase implementing each codec from its specification (ITU T.81/T.800/T.88, the PNG/WebP/TIFF specs), with AVX2/SSE/AdvSimd intrinsic kernels and scalar fallbacks. It also needs a benchmark corpus and conformance test suites to validate output byte-for-byte. The hard part is codec engineering and low-level performance tuning, which requires experienced image-codec and SIMD developers.
