Absolutely not. And before some fool just responds "GridFS", please read the documentation in the link.

Now that you have actually read the docs, consider that your blob (binary) data is probably under the 16MB BSON limitation. In which case, the answer is just Base64 encode it and put it into a field of your document.

Very Simple.
