New Page in LaTeX

Use \newpage, \pagebreak, or \clearpage to start a new page.

Some text on page one.
\newpage
Now this text is on page two.

\newpage

\newpage is the simplest page break. It ends the current page immediately and starts a new one. Any remaining vertical space on the old page is left empty.

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

This is the content of page one.

\newpage

This is the content of page two.

\end{document}

\pagebreak

\pagebreak breaks the page and stretches the content on the current page to fill the remaining space (like justified vertical spacing). It accepts an optional priority from 0–4.

\pagebreak       % break here (default priority 4)
\pagebreak[2]   % suggest a break here with priority 2
\pagebreak[0]   % allow a break here (lowest priority)

Use \pagebreak[0] or [1] to suggest rather than force a break.

\clearpage

\clearpage does everything \newpage does, but it also flushes all pending floats (figures and tables) before starting the new page. This is the safest choice in documents with many figures.

\begin{figure}
  \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{chart.png}
  \caption{My chart}
\end{figure}

\clearpage  % ensures the figure is placed before the new page
