Inserting images as BLOBs - any way to avoid using base64encode?

Hi - I'm about to use SQLite to store all the resources for a large ed
application I'm about to start building and was wondering whether there was
any way to get images into and out of the database without having to
base64encode/decode them. It looks like the encoding process adds about 30%
to the file size, which for this project could add an extra 100 MB or more
to the database file.
