Other Official Methods

There are additional ways to earn free unlocks on Course Hero:

Make Quizzes

Create quizzes for documents you've unlocked to earn extra unlocks. For each quiz submitted, you can earn up to 3 unlocks. This method helps you engage with the material while contributing to the community.

By rating documents and solutions on Course Hero, you can earn 1 unlock for every 5 ratings. This not only helps you gain access to more documents but also assists other users in finding valuable content.

Unblur Course Hero Using 'Inspect Element' on a PC

If you're comfortable with a bit of technical tweaking, you can try using the 'Inspect Element' feature in your browser to unblur documents. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Course Hero website in Google Chrome and navigate to the blurred document.
  2. Highlight the blurred text, right-click, and select 'Inspect' from the context menu.
  1. In the developer console that appears, look for a <div> tag with the class 'anon-hide obscured'. You can use Ctrl + F to search for 'obscured' or 'hide'.
  2. Right-click on the tag, choose 'Edit attribute', and change the class name to 'none'.
  1. The blurred content should now become visible.
Note: This method exploits a glitch in the website's code. Course Hero regularly updates their platform, so this trick might not always work.

Use a Third-Party Seller

Alternatively, you can purchase unlocks from third-party sellers like courseherounlocker.com. They offer individual document unlocks for approximately $2.25 each. While this option can be cost-effective, exercise caution to avoid potential scams and ensure you're not violating any of Course Hero's policies.

Use a VPN

Some users attempt to access unblurred documents by using a VPN to change their virtual location. This method relies on differences in content restrictions based on geographic locations. However, it is unreliable and can lead to your account being banned if detected by Course Hero. Additionally, it may breach the platform's terms of service.

Accessing unblurred documents on Course Hero can significantly enhance your study efforts. Whether through a subscription or by contributing your own materials, choose the method that best fits your needs while adhering to ethical practices.
