How to get free Instagram views in three steps
- 1Copy the link to your video
Open the Reel or video post, tap the share arrow, then tap Copy link. It should look like instagram.com/reel/ and then a code.
- 2Paste it in and add your email
Drop the link in the field above. Add an email you can open right now. We send a 6-digit code to it.
- 3Enter the code and wait
Type the code in to finish. You can close the page. The views go to that one post, and nothing else on your profile changes.
Free Instagram Reels views, video views and Story views
People search for free views on Reels, videos, Stories and profiles. The trial covers two of them. Here is the full picture, so you do not waste your one claim. The account must be public too, so check how to make your Instagram public if yours is private.
| What you want views on | Works with the free trial? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Instagram Reels | Yes | A Reel has its own link and stays on your profile |
| Video posts | Yes | Same as a Reel. Copy the link from the post |
| Stories | No | A Story is gone after 24 hours, too soon for delivery |
| Live videos | No | The trial needs the link to a post that stays up |
| Profile visits | No | Views go to one post, not to your profile page |
What 100 free Instagram views actually do
Let us be straight with you. A hundred views will not make a Reel go viral. Nobody can promise that, and free views are the smallest push there is.
What they do is fill an empty box. A Reel sitting at 3 views reads as something nobody wanted to watch. The same Reel at 103 views reads as normal. People scroll past the first one and give the second one a chance.
Here is what they do not do. Instagram says it ranks Reels on signals like watch time and shares (Instagram ranking explained). Delivered views add plays to the count. They do not watch to the end or send the Reel to a friend, so they do not make Instagram recommend it.
That is the whole point of a free trial. It shows you what instant views look like on your own post, so you can decide whether a bigger push is worth paying for.
How to see the views on your Instagram Reel
Want to watch the trial land? Note the view count before you claim, then check it again a few minutes later. Instagram counts a view every time a Reel starts to play or replay (Instagram Help). Rewatches count too. See how Instagram Reels views are counted for a worked example.
- Open the Reel from your profile. The view count sits under it, and anyone can see it. Nobody can see who viewed your Instagram Reel, only the count.
- For more detail, tap the three dots, then View insights.
- Insights show Views next to Accounts reached, which counts each person once.
- Insights need a professional account, creator or business (Instagram Help). A personal account only sees the count.
Free trial views compared with a paid package
| Free trial | Paid package | |
|---|---|---|
| How many | 100 views, once | You choose the amount |
| How many posts | One video or Reel | Any post, as often as you like |
| What we need | Post link and email | Post link and payment |
| Password | Never | Never |
| If it fails | We look into it | Refill or refund |

- Asks for card details for something described as free
How to get more views on Instagram Reels for free
The trial gives your post a nudge. The rest is down to the video. These habits cost nothing and matter far more than any view count. Our guide on how to get more views on Instagram Reels goes deeper on each one.
- Earn the first two seconds. Open on the best moment, not on a slow intro.
- Keep it short. A Reel watched twice beats a long one people drop out of.
- Add captions. Most people watch on mute, especially in public.
- Pick a clear cover image so the Reel looks good on your grid.
- Post when your followers are online. Insights list the hours under Most active times.
- Test ideas with a trial reel if your account has the option. Instagram shows a trial reel to people who do not follow you first (Instagram Creators).
- Use three to five specific hashtags, not thirty broad ones.
- Reply to early comments. Replies pull the post back into circulation.
- Share the Reel to your story so your existing followers see it.
Are free Instagram views safe?
The risk in buying or claiming views is almost never the views. It is what a site asks for on the way. Handing over your password is what gets accounts stolen, and no view count is worth that.
Paid engagement of any kind does go against Instagram rules. In practice Instagram deals with it by removing the fake activity, not by banning the account it was sent to. Keep your numbers sensible and do not send a million views to a post with four likes. If the likes lag behind, the free Instagram likes trial works on the same post.
One last thing worth saying plainly: views are not customers. They lift the number under your video and make it look worth watching. They will not comment, follow you, or buy anything. They do not earn money either, because Instagram does not pay per view on Reels. The video still has to do that part.
