There are several options, including bytea for binary data, large objects, and
if you can encode the data as text you can store it in a plain text field of
arbitrary size. Each option has its own set of pros and cons. You might want to
describe exactly how you want to use it to get more specific advice.

Subject:  [GENERAL] Blob like type


Doing a move over from MySQL and I was wondering if there anything like the
MySQL blob type?
