How to convert it to byte array?

1 Answer 1

1

It isn't HEX it is escaped raw bytea. Details about this encoding here.

If you want to get HEX from bytea field use encode(bytea_field, 'HEX'). Details here.

UPD It could be better to encode(bytea_field, 'base64') and then convert base64 string into file. Details here.
