About Strikethrough Text Generator

a strikethrough text generator is a free online tool that adds a horizontal line through your text, making it appear crossed out. this tool on mtools.cloud uses unicode combining characters to create strikethrough text that works anywhere — social media, messaging apps, emails, documents, and websites — without needing any html or css.

strikethrough text is widely used across the internet to show that something has been deleted, corrected, rejected, or is no longer relevant while still keeping it readable. you will see it on social media platforms like twitter, facebook, instagram, and discord where users write things like "i love mondays̶ ̶i̶ ̶h̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶m̶o̶n̶d̶a̶y̶s" to create a humorous before-and-after effect. it is also commonly used in revision tracking, price comparisons showing original prices crossed out next to sale prices, to-do lists with completed items, and legal documents showing redacted or removed clauses.

this strikethrough text generator offers six different styles to choose from. the single line strikethrough uses the unicode combining long stroke overlay character (u+0336) placed after each letter, creating a clean horizontal line through the text like t̶h̶i̶s̶. the double line strikethrough applies the same character twice per letter, producing a thicker, more visible crossed-out effect like t̶̶h̶̶i̶̶s̶̶. the slash through style uses the combining short solidus overlay (u+0337) which creates a diagonal slash through each character. the long slash style uses the combining long solidus overlay (u+0338) for a more pronounced diagonal line through the text.

for web developers and content creators, the tool also provides two html-based strikethrough options. the html s tag mode wraps your text in s̶h̶t̶m̶l̶ ̶ tags which render as strikethrough in all web browsers. the html del tag mode uses tags which are semantically correct for showing deleted content and are preferred for accessibility and seo because screen readers announce the text as "deleted" and search engines understand the content has been removed. both html modes output the raw source code so you can paste it directly into your html files, cms editors, or email templates.

the unicode-based strikethrough styles work by appending invisible combining characters after each alphabetic letter in your text. these combining characters are part of the unicode standard and are supported by all modern operating systems, browsers, and applications including windows, macos, linux, ios, and android. the resulting text can be copied and pasted into twitter, facebook, instagram, discord, slack, whatsapp, telegram, youtube comments, reddit posts, github issues, notion pages, google docs, microsoft word, and virtually any other application that supports unicode text. numbers, spaces, and punctuation marks are preserved as-is without strikethrough applied to them.

all text processing happens entirely in your browser using client-side javascript. no text is sent to any server, stored in any database, or logged anywhere. your content remains completely private on your device at all times. the statistics panel shows real-time character count, word count, line count, strikethrough character count which indicates how many combining characters were added, and total byte size of the output. you can import text files in .txt, .csv, .md, and .html formats. the copy button puts the visual strikethrough text on your clipboard, the copy as html button copies the raw html tag version, and the download button saves the result as a plain text file. whether you are creating social media posts with humorous crossed-out text, showing corrected prices on an e-commerce page, marking completed tasks in a shared document, or adding deleted content annotations to a web page, this strikethrough text generator on mtools.cloud is the fastest and most versatile free option available online.
