Strikethrough is handy for showing edits or a crossed-out price, but most chat and social apps lack the option.
Strikethrough Text Generator adds a combining strike mark to each character so your text appears crossed out when pasted.
How to use Strikethrough Text Generator
- Type or paste the text you want to cross out.
- Preview the strikethrough result in the output.
- Copy the strikethrough text and paste it where you need it.
Use cases
- Showing a crossed-out old price or date.
- Marking edits or retractions in a post.
- Adding a playful crossed-out aside to a message.
Good to know
Strikethrough Text Generator adds a combining strike mark to each character rather than using a separate font. Because it relies on combining marks, screen readers may still read the original words, so do not rely on it to hide meaning. Only the first 2,000 characters are styled so the page stays responsive; a note appears when that limit is reached.
Frequently asked questions
How is the strikethrough created?
A combining strike mark is added to each character, so the line is part of the text rather than a font setting.
Is strikethrough accessible?
Screen readers may read the underlying words normally, so use it for visual effect, not to hide important meaning.
Why does the strike look off in some apps?
Combining marks render differently across platforms, so the line can shift or drop out on certain systems.
Where is my text processed in Strikethrough Text Generator?
On your device. Strikethrough Text Generator runs in your browser, so your text is not uploaded anywhere.
