Various embodiments of systems and methods for decentralized image management are described herein. The method includes generating, distributing, and retrieving images on peer-to-peer network. Request for generating an image is received. Multiple components/layers of a to-be-generated image is identified. A layer is stored as a file. Files corresponding to the layers are packaged as an image file representing the image. The packaged image file and/or files of respective layers are distributed across the network, e.g., across a plurality of available nodes upon receiving a distribution command/request. When a request for retrieving the image is received, the nodes storing the multiple layers of the image are identified. The layers are retrieved from the identified multiple nodes. Using the retrieved multiple layers, the image is recreated/generated.
