Lempel–Ziv–Welch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lempel–Ziv–Welch (LZW) is a universal lossless data compression algorithm created by Abraham Lempel, Jacob Ziv, and Terry Welch. It was published by Welch in 1984 as an improved implementation of the...

An article describing LZW data compression, with working, well-annotated, C code for experimentation. ... The LZW compression algorithm in its simplest form is shown in Figure 1. A quick examination of the algorithm shows that LZW is always trying to output codes for strings that are already known. And each time a new code...

Discussion of LZW image file compression with sample code using the Victor Image Processing Library ... What is LZW Compression? ... LZW compression is commonly used for 1- through 8-bit palette color images and less often for 24-bit RGB images. Typically an LZW-compressed palette color image is 60 to 80% of the original size.

An Interactive LZW Compression Demo ... LZW compression has its roots in the work of Jacob Ziv and Abraham Lempel. In 1977, they published a paper on "sliding-window" compression, and followed it with another paper in 1978 on "dictionary" based compression.

GIF is not alone in the use of LZW. The TIFF file specification also includes LZW-compression among its compression methods, and so do dozens of very popular file archiving programs (such as Compress).
