Document Chunking Strategies for RAG - Interactive Visualization

How you chunk documents dramatically affects RAG retrieval quality. Fixed-size chunks are simple but split sentences mid-thought. Recursive chunking respects natural boundaries. Semantic chunking groups similar sentences. This demo compares all three on the same document and shows how chunk size and overlap affect context quality.

  • Fixed-size chunking: fast and simple but often splits sentences mid-thought
  • Recursive chunking: respects paragraph and sentence boundaries for more coherent chunks
  • Semantic chunking: groups similar sentences into cohesive topic segments
  • Chunk size and overlap sliders: see the direct impact on chunk count and context coverage
