The invention discloses an image management system and method based on fingerprint authentication, and belongs to the field of communication technology. The system comprises a fingerprint sensing device and an information exchange platform. The fingerprint sensing device is used for extracting the first fingerprint information of a user at a first terminal and encrypting an image according to the first fingerprint information. The information exchange platform is used for sending the first fingerprint information to a second terminal, such that the second terminal decrypts the image according the first fingerprint formation to obtain the decrypted image. The system and method greatly improve the privacy of the image of the user, and improve the security of the image.
