Strikethrough Text Generator L̶i̶k̶e̶ ̶T̶h̶i̶s̶

Cross Out Text Anywhere

The Strikethrough Text Generator allows you to apply a "crossed out" effect to your text on platforms that don't normally support it. Whether you're correcting a mistake, making a sarcastic point, or just adding style, this tool makes it easy.

Why Use Strikethrough?

Strikethrough text is a powerful rhetorical device in digital communication. It allows you to say two things at once.

• Corrections: Show that something has been updated or fixed (e.g., "Price: $̶5̶0̶ $25").
• Humor & Sarcasm: Write what you "really" mean but pretend to cross it out (e.g., "I love working on w̶e̶e̶k̶e̶n̶d̶s̶").
• To-Do Lists: Visually mark items as completed in your digital notes or tweets.
• Emphasis: Sometimes crossing a word out draws more attention to it than bolding it.

How It Works

We use a special feature of Unicode called "combining diacritical marks." Specifically, we insert the "long stroke overlay" character (U+0336) after every single letter you type. Your browser then renders this mark on top of the previous letter, creating the illusion of a continuous line.

Styles Available

• Strike: The classic horizontal line through the center (e.g., T̶e̶x̶t̶).
• Slash: A diagonal slash through each letter (e.g., T̷e̷x̷t̷). Great for a "glitchy" or "cancelled" look.
• Tilde: A wavy line through the text (e.g., T̴e̴x̴t̴). Adds a unique, shaky effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the line look broken?

Since the strikethrough is actually made of many individual marks on each letter, it might look slightly broken or uneven depending on the font your device uses. However, on most modern platforms (iOS, Android, Windows), it looks like a solid line.

Can I use this in email subject lines?

Yes! It's a great way to grab attention in an inbox, especially for sales (e.g., "5̶0̶%̶ ̶O̶F̶F̶ Sale Ends Today!").
