From the docs ( https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/limits/#bson-documents ):

BSON Document Size The maximum BSON document size is 16 megabytes.

The maximum document size helps ensure that a single document cannot use excessive amount of RAM or, during transmission, excessive amount of bandwidth. To store documents larger than the maximum size, MongoDB provides the GridFS API. See mongofiles and the documentation for your driver for more information about GridFS.

The only question remains: Are you sure you need a single document that large?
