The Strikethrough Text Generator creates text with a horizontal line running through each character, producing the classic "crossed out" effect. This versatile formatting style is perfect for indicating corrections, deleted content, or adding sarcastic humor to your messages.
Unlike platform-specific markdown formatting that only works in certain apps, our strikethrough uses Unicode combining characters. This means your crossed-out text will display correctly whether you paste it on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or any other platform that supports Unicode.
Strikethrough text has become a beloved tool for internet humor. Crossing out what you "really meant to say" before stating something more diplomatic has become a comedic staple. Users love the ability to show their thought process while maintaining plausible deniability.
The editing and content creation community uses strikethrough to show revisions and corrections. Writers demonstrate their editing process, teachers mark incorrect answers, and programmers cross out deprecated code – all using this simple yet effective formatting.
Our generator applies the Unicode combining long stroke overlay to each character individually. This character-by-character approach ensures the strikethrough appears continuous regardless of the text length. The result is clean, consistent formatting that maintains readability while clearly indicating the text is meant to be "crossed out."
