Three steps
How this strikethrough text generator works
Use this strikethrough text generator when a bio, caption, username, or note field has no strikethrough or underline control. The page shows only line-mark styles so you can compare a true cross-out with a line below, a line above, and a stacked pair.
- 01
Type the short string you will publish
Start with a price, a correction, or one sarcastic clause. The field begins empty. Until you type, cards preview “Strikethrough Text Generator”. There is no character cap in this strikethrough text generator, and the Size slider only changes the preview.
- 02
Compare strike, underline, and overline on the same input
The list is eight existing catalog styles: Strikethrough, Double Strikethrough, Underline, Double Underline, Overline, Double Overline, Slashed, and Strike + Underline. The page does not add Glitch stacks, heart frames, or extra slash clones. Click through the cards before you copy.
- 03
Copy one card, then paste, save, and reopen
Click the card or its copy icon. A short toast confirms the clipboard write. The heart saves a style ID without copying. Paste into the real field, save if the form requires it, and confirm the line is still there after a reload.
Characters, not tags
What a strikethrough text generator actually adds
A word processor strikethrough keeps the letter A and paints a line with formatting. A strikethrough text generator leaves A in place and appends a combining mark, usually U+0336, so the renderer draws a stroke through that glyph. The clipboard still holds plain text. Nothing here copies a CSS text-decoration or an HTML <s> tag.
Some editors interpret app-specific markup as a strike or underline. Those syntaxes are not generated here and only work where that editor runs. This strikethrough text generator exists for fields that store raw characters. If the destination already has a strike control, use that control for documents and keep this strikethrough text generator for plain text.
Underline uses U+0332. Double underline uses U+0333. Overline uses U+0305. Double overline uses U+033F. Slashed uses a long solidus overlay. Double strikethrough stacks two U+0336 marks after each convertible character. Strike + Underline stacks U+0336 with U+0332. Those are different jobs on one input, not eight names for the same stroke.
Pick by job
Choose a line on this strikethrough text generator
The useful test is one short sample on every card. A strikethrough text generator is doing its job when you can tell a mid-letter stroke from a line below, a line above, a diagonal, and a stacked pair.
Strikethrough
Strikethrough is the default crossed-out look: a horizontal overlay through each Latin letter and digit. Use it for a joke correction, a was-price, or a cancelled item. Type “was 42” and the letters and digits pick up the stroke. This strikethrough text generator will not hide the original word; readers are supposed to see what you crossed out.
Slashed
Slashed draws a diagonal overlay instead of a flat mid-line. It reads more like a hand slash than an editor strike. If classic strikethrough looks too formal, compare Slashed on the same string before you leave this strikethrough text generator.
Underline and Double Underline
Underline puts a low line under each convertible character. Double underline uses a double low line. Neither is HTML underline. Usernames and bios that strip “formatting” may still keep these marks, or they may strip them. The only proof is the paste test on this strikethrough text generator, not a platform logo on a competitor page.
Overline and Double Overline
Overline sits above the letter. People search a separate overline tool for a math-bar look. This strikethrough text generator keeps that result on the same input so you do not open a second URL for one combining-mark job. Double overline is heavier. Tall letters and mixed case can make the bar look gapped; that is a font drawing issue.
Double Strikethrough
Double strikethrough appends two U+0336 marks after each ASCII letter and digit. There is no separate double-strikethrough code point; the second overlay is another combining long stroke. A renderer may draw a thicker line, two offset lines, or a slightly shifted smear. Compare it with single Strikethrough on the same sample in this strikethrough text generator before you copy.
Strike + Underline
Strike + Underline stacks a mid-letter stroke with a low line: U+0336 then U+0332. It is not double strikethrough. If you wanted a line through the letter and a line under it, this is the card on this strikethrough text generator. If you wanted two mid-strokes, use Double Strikethrough instead.
What gets a mark
Which characters a strikethrough text generator will mark
Marks attach only to ASCII letters and digits. Everything else stays as typed. The preview is the contract: if a character has no stroke here, it will have no stroke after you copy it.
Type “Strike 42, Café 世界 😀”. Letters in Strike, the digits 42, and C a f in Café receive marks. The comma, spaces, the accented é, the CJK 世界, and the emoji stay unmarked. That mix is expected. The map will not invent a combining overlay for every script.
Each marked character grows by one extra code point, or two on Double Strikethrough and Strike + Underline. A six-letter word becomes twelve code points on Strikethrough and eighteen on those stacked cards. Counters that use UTF-16, code points, or grapheme clusters will disagree. The destination counter is the only number that matters after you paste from this strikethrough text generator.
Spaces do not receive marks in the current map, so a stroke can break between words. Punctuation stays clean. If you need a continuous bar across a gap, this strikethrough text generator will not fake it by marking the space. Keep the phrase short, or accept the break.
Before you publish
Paste test when a strikethrough text generator looks fine here
Many fields strip combining marks on save. The letters survive; the line disappears. That is not a failed copy. The destination rejected the marks. This page cannot override that rule. Keep an ASCII backup of any name you cannot easily change.
Other apps keep the marks but draw them high, low, or doubled on the next letter. Mobile fonts are the usual cause. Two U+0336 marks may look like one thick stroke or two offset strokes. If Strike + Underline looks like a smear, try Strikethrough alone. If Overline looks dashed, try a shorter all-caps sample.
A short paste test
- Copy a short Latin sample such as Strike 42 from this strikethrough text generator.
- Paste it into the real field, save if the form requires a save, then reopen the field.
- Confirm the line is still on the letters. If only ASCII remains, the field stripped marks.
- If you see boxes or a mark sitting on the wrong glyph, switch cards or shorten the string.
- If the form refuses to save, stop. This page cannot force combining marks into a restricted field.
Search and hearing
Search, screen readers, and this strikethrough text generator
Unlike superscript letters, these results keep the original ASCII underneath. That helps search. It does not make the line harmless for assistive technology.
A search box looking for Strike can still match S-t-r-i-k-e after this strikethrough text generator, because those letters were not swapped for other alphabets. Some indexes ignore marks; some do not. Do not assume a username remains findable just because you can still read it.
Assistive technology may announce the word normally, or it may speak “strikethrough”, “underline”, or a combining-character name between letters. A joke that looks clear on screen can be noise in a screen reader. Keep official names in unmarked letters.
Glitch text also uses combining marks, but it stacks many of them until the line melts. This strikethrough text generator uses one or two line marks per character. If you wanted dripping diacritics, open the Glitch Text Generator instead of forcing Strike + Underline to do that job.
Honest limits
Limits of this strikethrough text generator
This strikethrough text generator is a clipboard mapping tool. It does not format a document, guarantee that every app keeps combining marks, or cross out CJK and emoji.
Conversion runs in JavaScript on this strikethrough text generator. The words in the box are not posted to a PasteFonts API and are not written to localStorage. Favorites and Recent store style IDs only, under keys scoped to this origin. Another browser or a private window starts with an empty list.
The Size control in this strikethrough text generator adjusts only the preview, from 18px to 36px. Copied marks carry no font file, image, or editor markup, and may be filtered by the destination.
Wavy, dotted, and ringed line toys stay in the homepage full catalog under All. They are not extra results on this strikethrough text generator. If you needed compact raised letters instead of a stroke, open the Superscript Generator.
When you need the rest of the catalog, browse all fonts copy and paste styles. The homepage still holds Bold, Frames, and Fun that this strikethrough text generator intentionally omits.

FAQ
Questions about this strikethrough text generator
How does this strikethrough text generator cross out text?
It appends a Unicode combining mark after each ASCII letter and digit. A strikethrough text generator does not change a font-size or copy an HTML tag. You copy characters, including the marks.
Does this strikethrough text generator also make underline and overline?
Yes. The same input also fills Double Strikethrough, Underline, Double Underline, Overline, Double Overline, Slashed, and Strike + Underline. Copy the card whose line matches the job. This strikethrough text generator does not merge those into one rich-text object.
Why do some characters stay unmarked?
Marks attach only to A–Z, a–z, and 0–9. Commas, spaces, accented letters such as é, CJK, and emoji stay as typed. Unmatched characters are not deleted.
Why is the pasted line gone?
The destination field likely stripped combining marks and kept the letters. Save, reopen, and check. This strikethrough text generator cannot force an app to store marks it rejects.
Is this the same as editor strikethrough markup?
No. Some editors interpret their own markup as a strike. This strikethrough text generator does not emit that markup. Unicode combining marks travel as text in fields that keep them.
Does this strikethrough text generator upload what I type?
No. Conversion never leaves this tab. The only local values are favorite and recently copied style IDs, which you can wipe by clearing site data for this origin.
Why does the character count jump?
Each marked letter gains one extra code point, or two on Double Strikethrough and Strike + Underline. Count after you paste, using the destination counter, not the length you typed.
Why does this strikethrough text generator keep eight cards?
Each card is a different mark or pair: strike, double strike, underline, double underline, overline, double overline, slash, and strike plus underline. This strikethrough text generator does not rename one overlay eight times.
Is Strike + Underline the same as double strikethrough?
No. Strike + Underline is U+0336 plus U+0332. Double Strikethrough is two U+0336 marks. Copy the card that matches the job on this strikethrough text generator.
Can I use this strikethrough text generator on any platform?
You can paste into fields that accept Unicode text. Whether the line displays or saves depends on that app, font, and field. Always paste a test line from this strikethrough text generator first.
