Convert Image into Data Base64

Question

Hi I have small confusion about image insert into database. example if i insert 5MB image into database then database will be heavy and lazy to load. so if i convert image into base64 Data format then image will load much more faster or not ????? or else i have to store image path into database and image store in sepearte folder. which one is better to load images as a faster from database. ?????

Hi I would personally prefer images to be stored in folder than database. I think in asp.net most of them prefer storing it in folders than database as it is more flexible to manage. Also have a look at below thread too - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/713243/should-i-store-my-images-in-the-database-or-folders
