Strikethrough Text Generator

Add a line through your text — s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ — that you can paste anywhere.

Crossing text out where you can't format

Plenty of places do not let you format text — many social bios, chat apps, form fields — so there is no strikethrough button to reach for. This adds a strike line to your text using combining characters, producing a genuine string with a line through it that you can paste into those places, whether to show a crossed-out price, a joke correction, or an edited-out word.

Type your text and it comes back struck through.

How the line is added

The line is not real formatting; it is a combining character laid over each letter, which is why the result travels as plain text and works where actual formatting is unavailable. It displays in most modern apps, though the exact look can vary a little between them, and like other combining-character effects it can confuse screen readers. It is perfect for a casual crossed-out flourish, less so for anything that must be read aloud cleanly.

Questions & answers

Why not just use a strikethrough button?

Many bios, chats and forms do not offer formatting, so this makes a crossed-out string you can paste where no button exists.

Will it show in every app?

In most modern ones, though the exact appearance can vary slightly between them.
