📖 How it works & FAQ

What this tool does

This Strikethrough Text Generator turns ordinary text into c̶r̶o̶s̶s̶e̶d̶-̶o̶u̶t̶ or u̲n̲d̲e̲r̲l̲i̲n̲e̲d̲ text by adding a special invisible Unicode "combining" mark after every character. Because the effect is baked into the characters themselves — not applied with HTML or rich-text formatting — you can paste the result into places that normally strip styling, like Instagram bios, Facebook posts, X (Twitter), Discord, TikTok comments, and text messages.

How the strikethrough works

Strikethrough uses the character U+0336 (combining long stroke overlay), and underline uses U+0332 (combining low line). Each mark sits on top of the character right before it, so "no" becomes "n̶o̶". The "Both" option stacks both marks for a crossed-out and underlined look. It's plain Unicode, so nothing is uploaded and everything is generated instantly in your browser.

How to use it

  1. Type or paste your text into the box above.
  2. Pick a style: Strikethrough, Underline, or Both.
  3. Watch the crossed-out preview update as you type.
  4. Click Copy result to put it on your clipboard.
  5. Paste it into your bio, post, comment, or message.

FAQ

Will strikethrough show up everywhere?
On most modern apps and phones, yes. A few older systems or unusual fonts may render the mark slightly off or as a small box, since it depends on the platform's font support. Test-paste once if you're unsure.
Does this actually delete or change my words?
No. The letters stay exactly the same & readable — a thin line is simply drawn over them using an extra Unicode character, so screen readers still read the original text.
Is my text private?
Completely. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you type is ever sent to a server or stored.
Why does copied text sometimes lose the line?
A destination app may use a font that doesn't support combining marks. Try the "Both" or "Underline" style, or paste somewhere else to confirm the effect carried over.
