When google offers preview images of sites, do they store those images in their database?

Google has an option that if you click the magnifying glass next to a search result, it shows you an image of the page.

Does google store these images in their database? On their filesystem? Or are they generated dynamically?

They are actually base64 encodes of the images, rather than pointers or the image itself.
