Thank you very much. It seems it is better to save it on file system.

you can save images as BYTEA data, and the format is totally up to your application, as postgres just treats it as a block of bytes.    however, I generally find it easier to store my images on a file system, and just put the file path in the database.

By the way, here's a relatively recent discussion of this issue:
