Strikethrough Text Generator

The strikethrough text generator draws a line straight through your words, creating that crossed-out look used for jokes, edits, corrections and playful self-deprecation, and it also offers a clean underline option. Type a phrase and the tool adds a line through (or beneath) every character, ready to copy and paste. The way it works is simple but clever: instead of real formatting, it attaches a Unicode combining strikethrough or underline mark to each letter, so the line becomes part of the text itself. That means the crossed-out effect survives copy and paste into bios, captions and chat boxes that offer no formatting button at all. Strikethrough is the go-to for that I-meant-to-say-this-but joke, marking something as cancelled, showing a before-and-after edit, or adding a sarcastic aside; underline works nicely for quiet emphasis or a tidy header. A few caveats to note. Because the line is a combining mark, spacing can look slightly off in some fonts, and the mark sits at a fixed height that may not perfectly cross every glyph. Screen readers ignore or misread these marks, and search will not match them, so keep essential text plain. Most modern apps render combining strikethrough and underline fine, though a rare old app may shift the line. The easy workflow: type your text, choose strikethrough for the crossed-out joke or underline for emphasis from the previews below, tap to copy, and paste it in. Note that some platforms like Discord and many messengers already have a native strikethrough — using their built-in option reads more cleanly inside those apps than the Unicode version.
