Frequently asked questions

How is chunk count calculated?

For documents longer than one chunk: ceil((total − overlap) / (chunk size − overlap)).

What overlap should I use?

Common choices: 10–20% of chunk size to preserve context across chunk boundaries.

Can overlap equal chunk size?

No. Overlap must be less than chunk size or the step size would be zero.

Is my data sent to a server?

No. All calculations happen in your browser.
