What Is a Strikethrough Text Generator?
A strikethrough text generator draws a line through your letters, like s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶. It works by adding a Unicode “combining long stroke” character after every letter. The same technique produces underline, overline, and slash-through variants — all included in this tool. Because the lines are part of the text itself, they survive copy and paste into any app.
How to Use the Strikethrough Text Generator
- Type your text above.
- Choose a line style — strikethrough, underline, overline, or slashed.
- Copy and paste it anywhere.
Where to Use Strikethrough Text
- X (Twitter) posts — the classic “correction joke” format.
- Discord chats for sarcasm and edits.
- Instagram captions and comments.
- To-do lists in notes and messages — cross off done items in style.
