About the Strikethrough Text Generator

The Strikethrough Text Generator creates t̶e̶x̶t̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶a̶ ̶l̶i̶n̶e̶ ̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ ̶i̶t̶ that you can copy and paste anywhere — even on platforms that don't support native strikethrough formatting. Simply type your text, get crossed-out text, and paste it into your posts, messages, and bios.

Strikethrough text is created using Unicode combining characters that draw a line through each letter. This means unlike platform-specific formatting (like Discord's ~~strikethrough~~), Unicode strikethrough works everywhere you can paste text.

Examples: s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶

Frequently Asked Questions

Does strikethrough text work on Instagram?
Yes! Instagram doesn't have native strikethrough, but Unicode strikethrough text works perfectly in Instagram bios, captions, and comments. It's a popular way to add humour and personality to profiles.
What's the difference between Unicode strikethrough and Discord/Markdown strikethrough?
Discord and Markdown use ~~text~~ to produce strikethrough — but this only works within those platforms. Unicode strikethrough uses combining characters that create a visible line through letters regardless of platform, making it universally portable.
Can I use strikethrough on LinkedIn?
Yes! Unicode strikethrough text is compatible with LinkedIn posts, profiles, and comments — great for adding visual humour or showing revisions in your professional content.
Is this free?
Yes, free to use with no sign-up required.
Can I strikethrough emojis or special characters?
The combining stroke character can be appended to any Unicode character, but results vary with emojis. Emojis are rendered as images on most platforms, so the overlaid line may not display. It works best with standard letters and numbers.
Is this tool free?
Yes, the strikethrough text generator is entirely free. No account needed, no limits — type, copy, and paste as much as you want.
