QR code is a quick response code which is used to store information. In QR code, the information is stored in encoded form. To access information present in QR code , we need to decode information with the help of scanner. The information which is present in QR code is accessible to anybody. Private data is not safe in such scenario. This paper presents a visual secret sharing scheme to encode a secret QR code into distinct shares. Visual secret sharing scheme is a method of distributing secrete amongst a group of participants. The secret message is recovered by XOR-ing the shares. Secret message can be generated only when enough number of shares are combined. This provides security for private message using visual secret sharing scheme. Proposed system provides higher security to messages and it also provides more flexible access structure. Computational cost of proposed scheme is low
