How do I make strikethrough text?

Type your text and it is rewritten with a combining line-through mark on each character. Tap Copy and paste the crossed-out text anywhere that accepts Unicode.

Is this a real font or formatting?

Neither — it adds a Unicode combining 'long stroke overlay' to each letter, so the strikethrough is part of the text itself and survives copy-paste into apps with no strikethrough button.

Where does strikethrough text work?

Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter/X bios and posts, and many chats. In Discord you can also cross out text by wrapping it in double tildes (~~like this~~).

Is it free and private?

Yes — it runs entirely in your browser with no sign-up and nothing is uploaded.

What is a strikethrough text generator?

A strikethrough text generator puts a line through your letters so they look crossed out — like this — and lets you copy and paste the result into apps that have no strikethrough button, such as Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter/X.

How to use it

Type your text in the box.
Tap Copy.
Paste the crossed-out text into your bio, caption, or message.

How it works

The tool adds a Unicode combining long stroke overlay to each character. Because the line is part of the text itself — not a font or a formatting setting — it travels with the text when you copy and paste it. Depending on the app and font, the stroke may render as one continuous line or with tiny gaps between characters.

Strikethrough in Discord, Google Docs, and more

Some apps have their own shortcut. In Discord, wrap text in double tildes (~~like this~~) — our Discord Text Formatter does that for you. In Google Docs use Format → Text → Strikethrough (Alt+Shift+5). This generator is for the many places that offer no such option, giving you crossed-out text you can paste in directly.

Where to use strikethrough text

Marking “sold out” or old prices, playful edits and jokes, to-do lists, and bios. For other effects, see the Fancy Text Generator.

Free and private

The strikethrough text generator runs entirely in your browser — free, no sign-up, and nothing you type is uploaded or stored.
