Convert Image into Data Base64

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. ?????
