No, according to Jain Dharma, Jainism was not created from Hinduism.

Simple points:

1. Independent and eternal dharma

- Jainism calls itself anādi–ananta – beginningless and endless. - It is a separate Śramaṇa tradition, not a branch of the Vedic/Hindu tradition. ( jainknowledge.com)

1. Different roots and authorities

- Jainism does not accept the Vedas as authority. - Its guidance comes from Tirthankaras (like Rishabhdev, Mahavira) and Jain scriptures (Āgamas, etc.), not from Vedic rishis. ( jainknowledge.com)

1. Different concept of God and universe

- Jainism: no creator God; the universe is eternal, running by its own laws. - Hinduism (most schools): accepts some form of Īshvara/Brahman as creator or ultimate reality. ( jainknowledge.com)

1. Why people get confused

- Jains and Hindus have lived together in India for thousands of years. - They share culture, festivals, languages, temples, etc., so from outside they can look “same”. - But the philosophy, goal, and path of Jainism are its own. ( jainknowledge.com)

So, from the Jain point of view: Jainism is not made from Hinduism. It is a separate, eternal path taught again and again by the Tirthankaras.
