Quick samples

Featured output

Standard horizontal line through every character. Most reliable strike on social media.U+0336

Your styled text appears here. Type or paste anything in the input on the left.

Skip spacesLeave gaps between words. Off draws a continuous line.Strip existing marksRemove any strike, underline, or overline on the input first.

Output is 0 characters (input plus combining marks).

All eight line styles

Same input, every line style at once. Each platform renders these marks slightly differently, so try a couple before publishing.

Strikethrough
U+0336/Standard horizontal line through every character. Most reliable strike on social media.
Type some text to see this style.
Short stroke
U+0335/Tighter strike that does not extend past the glyph. Useful for compact text.
Type some text to see this style.
Slash through
U+0337/Short diagonal slash drawn across each glyph. Looks like a hand-crossed-out word.
Type some text to see this style.
Long slash
U+0338/Longer diagonal slash that extends beyond the glyph. The strongest slash effect.
Type some text to see this style.
Tilde strike
U+0334/Wavy line through each character. Looks like a tilde drawn over the text.
Type some text to see this style.
Underline
U+0332/Single low line under each character. Spaces are included by default so the underline stays continuous.
Type some text to see this style.
Double underline
U+0333/Two stacked low lines under each character for a stronger emphasis.
Type some text to see this style.
Overline
U+0305/Horizontal line above each character. Sometimes called a bar or vinculum.
Type some text to see this style.

Every style is built with one combining diacritical mark per character. The output is plain Unicode you can paste anywhere that accepts Unicode text. A few platforms strip combining marks for search indexing or for accessibility, in which case the receiver sees the underlying text without the line; this is expected and unavoidable.

How the strike is drawn

Pure Unicode, no images

Each line style places one combining mark from the U+0300 to U+036F block after every character. The mark renders on the previous glyph, so the line follows the text wherever it goes.

Emoji and accented letters survive

The tool walks the input by Unicode code point, so emoji, accented letters, and characters outside the Basic Multilingual Plane keep their shape and pick up the line just like ASCII.

Skip spaces toggle

For strikethrough, slashes, and tilde, skipping spaces gives the classic word-by-word crossed-out look. For underline and overline, keeping spaces draws a continuous bar under or over the whole text, which is the more common intent.

Where it pastes cleanly

Strikethrough renders on Instagram captions and bios, X (Twitter), Facebook, Reddit, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn posts, and most chat apps. Some username fields and SEO-indexed fields strip combining marks; preview before publishing.

How to use

Type or paste your text in the input. Every style updates as you type.
Pick the line style with the tabs above the featured output, or press Feature on any card in the all-styles grid.
Toggle Skip spaces to switch between a continuous line and a word-by-word strike. Use Strip existing marks if the input already has a strike or underline applied.
Use the Copy buttons to grab the result and paste it into your bio, caption, chat, or document.
Preview in the target app before publishing. A few platforms strip combining marks in usernames or search-indexed fields.

About this tool

Strikethrough Text Generator places a Unicode combining mark after every character of your text to draw a line over, under, or through the glyph, so the result reads as plain Unicode and can be pasted into any field that accepts text. Eight line styles are produced from the same input in one pass: long strikethrough (U+0336), short stroke (U+0335), slash through (U+0337), long slash (U+0338), tilde overlay (U+0334), single underline (U+0332), double underline (U+0333), and overline (U+0305). Each style has its own copy button, and the featured panel at the top lets you promote one style for a larger preview and use-output-as-input chaining. The Skip spaces toggle controls whether the line passes through the gaps between words or breaks at every space, so the same tool can produce both the classic word-by-word crossed-out look and a continuous underline or overline. The Strip existing marks toggle removes any combining strikethrough or underline marks already in the pasted text, which is useful when copy-pasting from another strikethrough tool so the new style does not stack on top of the old one. Iteration walks the input by Unicode code point so emoji, accented letters, and astral characters keep their shape and pick up the line correctly. Strikethrough renders well on Instagram captions and bios, X (Twitter), Facebook, Reddit, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, LinkedIn posts, and most chat apps; some username fields and SEO-indexed fields strip combining marks during normalization, so it is worth previewing in the target app before publishing. Everything runs in your browser; nothing about your input or the generated text leaves the page.
