Why use a strikethrough text generator?
Most social apps have no strikethrough button for bios and captions. This tool adds a crossed-out line to your words using Unicode combining characters, so you can show a "before and after" price, mark something as done, or make a joke that lands — all in plain text that pastes anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
- How does the strikethrough survive copy and paste?
- A combining "long stroke overlay" mark is added after every character. Because the line is encoded as part of the text rather than as formatting, it stays crossed-out when you paste it into a chat or post.
- Where can I use strikethrough text?
- Plain-text fields across Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, Facebook, Discord and WhatsApp. Rendering depends on the font, so the line may look slightly different from one app to another.
- Why does it sometimes look misaligned?
- The strike is a combining character that each font positions itself. On a few fonts the line can sit a little high or low, but the text remains readable and clearly struck through.
- Is anything sent to a server?
- No. The strikethrough is added in your browser with JavaScript, and your text never leaves your device.
