How to cross out text

    Strike, slash, wavy or underline

  3. Copy & paste

    Paste it into any app or website

How does strikethrough text work?

It works with every alphabet, including Chinese, Japanese and Korean, and keeps its line wherever you paste it.

Each character is followed by a Unicode combining mark — U+0336 for a strike line, U+0332 for an underline — which the app draws across or under the character before it. Because the mark is part of the text, the line stays when you copy and paste.

Good to know

  • Spaces get the mark too, so the line runs through the whole phrase
  • Screen readers may skip or read out the marks, so don't use it for important information
  • Search and hashtags won't match struck-through words

Where to use strikethrough

  • Jokes: s̶a̶l̶a̶d̶ pizza for lunch
  • Old prices next to sale prices
  • Corrections and edits in posts
  • Done items on shared to-do lists

Why people use it

  • Works on platforms without formatting
  • Any language, including CJK
  • Four line styles, underline included
  • Live preview as you type

Frequently asked questions

How do I strikethrough text on X (Twitter), Instagram or Facebook?

These platforms have no strikethrough button. Convert your text here and paste the result — the line is part of the characters.

Do Discord and WhatsApp need this?

Discord supports ~~text~~ and WhatsApp ~text~ natively. Use this tool when the line must survive copying to other apps, or for the underline styles.

Does it work with Chinese, Japanese or Korean?

Yes. Combining marks attach to any character, so 文̶字̶ works too, although the line position varies by font.

Why does the line look broken or misplaced?

Each app's font draws combining marks a little differently. Try another style, such as slash or wavy.

Is it free?

Yes — completely free, with no sign-up and no limits.
