Strikethrough Text Generator

The Strikethrough Text Generator converts regular letters into text with a line struck through every character, using special Unicode combining characters instead of HTML or CSS formatting. Because the strikethrough effect is built into the characters themselves, it works anywhere plain text is accepted — including places that strip out formatting.

⭐ What Does This Tool Do?

  • Adds a strikethrough line through every character of your text
  • Also offers an underline style and a combined strikethrough + underline style
  • Keeps the original letters readable underneath the line
  • Works instantly as you type, with a live preview
  • Copies the result to your clipboard with one click

⭐ Why Use Unicode Strikethrough Instead of HTML?

Most social platforms and chat apps (Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter/X, WhatsApp) don't allow HTML tags like <s> or <del> in bios, captions, or messages. This tool instead attaches a Unicode "combining" character after every letter, so the line-through effect travels with the text as plain characters and displays correctly almost everywhere.

⭐ How to Use the Tool

  1. Type or paste your text into the input field
  2. Choose a style: strikethrough, underline, or both combined
  3. Your styled text appears instantly in the output field
  4. Click "Copy" to copy it, then paste it anywhere

🔎 Where Can You Use Strikethrough Text?

  • Price lists: Show a crossed-out old price next to a new one
  • Social media bios: Add a playful crossed-out word or joke
  • Chat messages: Mark a correction or a joke in WhatsApp, Telegram, or Discord
  • To-do lists: Mark completed tasks as "done" in plain-text apps
  • Usernames and display names: Create a unique, eye-catching profile name

⚠️ Important Notes

  • This uses Unicode combining characters, not real HTML or CSS strikethrough formatting
  • Because it isn't semantic markup, screen readers may read the combining marks differently and search engines won't treat it as struck-through content
  • Very long words may look slightly uneven on some fonts, since the line is attached character by character
  • Line breaks are left untouched so your formatting stays readable
  • All conversion happens locally in your browser — no text is uploaded or stored

Frequently Asked Questions

The Strikethrough Text Generator is a free online tool that converts normal text into text with a line struck through every character, using Unicode combining characters. You can use it on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter/X, WhatsApp, and anywhere else that only accepts plain text.

This tool inserts a special 'combining long stroke overlay' character after every letter in your text. That character draws a line over the previous letter, so the struck-through look is part of the text itself instead of relying on HTML or CSS formatting.

Strikethrough draws a line through the middle of each character, underline draws a line below each character, and the combined style applies both at once so each character is both struck through and underlined.

Yes. Since the effect comes from special Unicode characters rather than formatting tags, it displays correctly on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter/X, and most apps and websites that accept plain text input.

Most modern phones, tablets, and computers display combining characters correctly. Very old devices or software with limited Unicode support may show the line slightly misaligned or not at all.

No. HTML strikethrough (<s> or <del>) changes how a browser renders existing letters, while this tool attaches a special Unicode character after each letter. That's why it works in places where HTML tags are not interpreted, such as bios and chat messages.

Yes, slightly. Screen readers may not announce the strikethrough effect, and search engines won't treat it as semantically struck-through content. Avoid it for important content like page headings; it's best suited for social media and casual messages.

Yes. Paste the text into our Fancy Text Remover tool, which strips the Unicode combining marks used for strikethrough and underline and gives you back plain text.

Yes. Click the Copy button to copy the generated text to your clipboard, then paste it into any app, website, or document that accepts plain text.

Yes, the strikethrough mark is added after every character you type, including punctuation and most symbols. Line breaks are left untouched so your paragraphs stay readable.
