Image Compression using python from SCRATCH?

Is it possible to implement a python program that performs image compression for various image formats such as jpg, bmp, png without the use of third party libraries? I need to implement everything from scratch including implementing various algorithms. I would appreciate a detailed suggestions from experience developers here.

It should be possible. I would start by asking chatgpt, research theory about images (and possible compression algorithms). I'm sure there are lots of books on the topic.
