Just use glide for faster image load in your application because glide uses caching of images and it loads an image after compressing it a little bit. Even Google recommend this library to developers , Google used this library in Gmail.

As mentioned here base64 format is %37 larger than normal image. So if you use base64 format, you will have larger image and longer download time. In this case, you need to use normal image url.
To download images as fast as possible, you can use Picasso or Glide.
