Base64 image's string to big

Why is it that when I look at your skins they have short strings for png images but when I encode my images that seem no bigger they are huge? Even transparent 1 pixel backgrounds are big. It's made my mod skin go from like 30k to 400k
I have been using http://www.base64-image.de/step-1.php

I would try using alternate tools if you are having issues with the size of the data uri’s being created by that site

I have tried another, same thing.
I think I am looking for a tip from the people who actually make your skins, there must be some tricks for reducing image sizes inline

I don’t have any additional resources or advise regarding this matter. This sound like more of a base64-encoding issue, rather than a player issue. I advise you to do a bit of investigation on that front.
Thanks,
