S̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ Text Generator

Create strikethrough text to copy and paste.

Copied to clipboard

This strikethrough text generator draws a line through every character so your text appears c̶r̶o̶s̶s̶e̶d̶ o̶u̶t̶. It is perfect for showing edits, marking down a price, or landing a joke in apps where there is no strikethrough button.

How to use the strikethrough generator

  1. Type or paste your text.
  2. The crossed-out version appears instantly.
  3. Copy it and paste it into your post, chat or bio.

How it works

Rather than applying formatting, the tool attaches a combining strikethrough mark to each character. Because the line becomes part of the text, it survives copy-and-paste into places that offer no strikethrough option — so you can show a “was £50, now £30” style edit or a tongue-in-cheek correction anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Will it work everywhere?

It works in most modern apps and platforms. A few older systems may not render the combining strikethrough mark cleanly.

Is there a difference from the strikethrough in Word or WhatsApp?

Yes. Those apply real formatting that only works inside them. This produces plain Unicode text that keeps its line wherever you paste it.

Can I strike through numbers and symbols?

Yes. The mark is added to every visible character, including numbers and most symbols.
