Free Strikethrough Text Generator

Add a line through your text to create a crossed-out effect that works in apps without built-in formatting. This tool offers strikethrough, a heavier slash, underline, and a "tilde" strike — pick the look you want and copy it instantly.

How It Works

The effect uses Unicode combining marks — invisible characters that attach a line, slash, or underline to the character before them. Since the result is plain text, it survives copy-paste into places that don't normally support strikethrough formatting.

Where It Works

Crossed-out text works in Discord, Instagram, Twitter/X, and most chat apps. Note that Discord also has its own native strikethrough using double tildes (~~like this~~) inside the app — this tool is for everywhere that doesn't support that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use Unicode strikethrough instead of Discord's built-in one?

Discord's ~~markdown~~ only works inside Discord messages. Unicode strikethrough works in usernames, bios, and any app — places where markdown isn't available.

Is it free?

Yes, free and unlimited.
