Why use a strikethrough text generator?

Strikethrough is the internet's tone-of-voice shortcut — it says 'I know what I really mean' without deleting the word. But most social platforms don't have a strikethrough button. This tool adds a Unicode combining character to every letter so the line-through effect pastes anywhere as plain text.

Best practices

  • Use strikethrough for humour, self-correction or showing a price drop — it reads as intentional, not sloppy.
  • Keep it to a word or short phrase; a full sentence of crossed-out text is hard to read on a phone screen.
  • Pair strikethrough with the replacement word right next to it so the joke or correction lands.
  • Heads-up: screen readers may announce 'combining long stroke overlay' for every letter, so don't use it on must-read text.

No. Markdown strikethrough (~~text~~) only works on platforms that parse it — Discord, Reddit, Slack. This generates Unicode characters that look crossed-out everywhere, no markdown support needed.

The line position and thickness vary by font and OS. The effect is the same — a visible line through the text — but the exact rendering depends on the device's Unicode font.
