RAG Chunking Simulator

Scope note: local character and word chunking simulation only. This tool does not compute embeddings or retrieve documents.

How to use this tool

  1. Enter your details in the fields above.
  2. Press Generate to see the result.
  3. Use Load sample to try the worked example, or Clear to start again.

Worked example

For text 0123456789AB with chunk size 5 and overlap 2, the step is 3 characters, giving 4 chunks: 01234, 34567, 6789A and 9AB.

What this tool does not do / Limits

This simulates plain character chunking with overlap only. It does not compute embeddings, does not split on sentences or tokens, and does not retrieve anything, so real pipeline chunk counts will differ.

Frequently asked questions

What is the step?

Chunk size minus overlap. With size 5 and overlap 2, each chunk starts 3 characters after the last one.

Does it use embeddings?

No. This is a local character-splitting preview, with no model and no vector work involved.
