My guess is that req.body.images is stringified. I believe it is a string containing many values, not an array. When you post that to MongoDB, since you specified that images must be an array, it saves it as an array of strigified values.

So, blind guess, but I believe you are posting (client-side) something like :

$.post("/save", { images : JSON.stringify(imagesArray) } )

when you should just post your array as is :

$.post("/save", { images : imagesArray} )

But it's hard to know for sure, because we don't have the front-end code or even console.log(req.body.images)
