# Chunk

Break arrays or collections into smaller (wait for it) chunks of any given size. This is useful for performing various gymnastics with your HTML markup.

:::tip
Want a set number of _groups_ regardless of item count? The [split](/modifiers/split.md) modifier does the opposite — give it a _count_ and it divides the collection into that many roughly equal pieces.
