That's normal for LZW. > So is there a way to avoid this ? Or maybe some other compression algorithm > would be better ? Well, I suggest you send a little compression code with your data. A header like this: A code so you can identify your data. The size of this header. A code for which compression was used (0 = none, 1 = zip, 2 = lzw) A code for which encryption was used (0 = none) A flags value for the future. The original data length The compressed and encoded length And finally the data. So this would give you room to expand in the future and still the ability to work with various options. Like compression where your app compresses data with several ways and later picks the smallest result.
