Hi,

By default the size of data can be transfer from the wcf service to the client is 64kb, so if you want to transfer a large data, you should do some configuration, for example increasing the maxReceivedMessageSize and timeout value. For more information, please try to check the following:

<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IService" closeTimeout="04:01:00"
     openTimeout="04:01:00" receiveTimeout="04:10:00" sendTimeout="04:01:00"
     allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" 
     hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
     maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" 
     maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"
     messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" 
     transferMode="Streamed"
     useDefaultWebProxy="true">
  <readerQuotas maxDepth="128" 
      maxStringContentLength="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647"
      maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
</binding>

Also please do not forget to apply the above binding configuration to the endpoint:

<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" 
          bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IService" 
          contract ="IService">
</endpoint>

For more information, please try to refer to the following articles:
