A manufacturing method for a glass film includes a cleaving step of dividing a glass film having a band shape into a product glass portion and an unnecessary glass portion, and a collecting step of sequentially shattering the unnecessary glass portion, and collecting the shattered unnecessary glass portion. The cleaving step is followed by vibration regulating processing of regulating vibrations of the unnecessary glass portion in a thickness direction thereof, the vibration regulating processing being executed in at least one location in the longitudinal direction of the unnecessary glass portion, and the collecting step being executed on a downstream side of the at least one location of the vibration regulating processing.
