Strikethrough Text Generator
Type anything and get crossed-out or underlined text using Unicode combining marks — each with a one-tap copy button.
A strikethrough text generator adds a Unicode combining line through or under each letter so you can copy and paste crossed-out text anywhere. Type into the box below, pick strikethrough or underline, and tap Copy — then paste it into your Instagram bio, TikTok caption, Discord message or chat. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you type is stored.
A strikethrough text generator doesn't draw a graphic — it appends a Unicode combining mark after each letter so the device renders a line through (a̶) or under (a̲) the character. Because the marks are standard Unicode, you can copy and paste the result anywhere that accepts text, including Instagram, TikTok, Discord and most chats.
Key takeaways
- 2 line styles from one box — strikethrough and underline.
- One-tap copy with a satisfying "Copied!" confirmation.
- Real Unicode combining marks — they paste into bios, captions and chats.
- Alignment varies by font; on Discord, native ~~strikethrough~~ looks cleaner.
- Mind accessibility — screen readers often ignore the line, so don't rely on it for meaning.
How strikethrough text actually works
When you "cross out" text here, you're not drawing a line on top of it. Unicode includes "combining" characters — invisible marks that attach to the letter before them, like the combining long stroke (U+0336) and the combining low line (U+0332). This tool inserts one of those marks after every character, so the device draws the line itself.
That's why it copies and pastes everywhere: there's no image to load and nothing for the other app to download. As long as the app and device understand the combining mark, the line just appears.
Why the line can look misaligned
Combining marks are positioned relative to each letter, and every font does that slightly differently. So the same crossed-out text can look perfectly centred in one app and a little high or offset in another. The underlying text is identical — only the rendering of the overlay changes.
The line styles you'll find here
| Style | Example | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Strikethrough | F̶o̶n̶t̶W̶i̶l̶d̶ | "Old price", edits, jokes |
| Underline | F̲o̲n̲t̲W̲i̲l̲d̲ | Emphasis, links-style look |
Where to use strikethrough text
The most popular spots are an Instagram bio, a TikTok bio, and Discord messages — though Discord's native ~~strikethrough~~ markdown renders more cleanly there. For more variety, try the full fancy text generator, or pair lines with bold and small caps styles.
Frequently asked questions
How does a strikethrough text generator work?
It adds an invisible "combining" Unicode mark after each letter — a long stroke or low line that the device draws on top of, or under, the character. Because the marks are real Unicode, the crossed-out or underlined text copies and pastes almost anywhere.
What is the difference between strikethrough and underline?
Strikethrough adds a combining long stroke overlay (a̶) that draws a line through the middle of each letter. Underline adds a combining low line (a̲) that sits under each letter. Both are produced by appending a combining mark to every character.
Will strikethrough text work on Instagram, TikTok and Discord?
It usually works on Instagram bios and captions and TikTok bios. On Discord it can look uneven, and Discord also has its own native strikethrough using ~~tildes~~ inside messages, which renders more cleanly there. Preview before posting.
Why does the line look misaligned in some apps?
Combining marks are drawn relative to each letter, and different fonts position them slightly differently — so the stroke can sit a little high, low or offset. The text is still correct; it is only the visual overlay that varies by font.
Is strikethrough Unicode bad for accessibility?
It can be. Screen readers often ignore combining marks or read the base letters only, so the "crossed out" meaning may be lost. Use it for short display bits, and never rely on strikethrough alone to convey important meaning.
Is FontWild free and is my text private?
It is completely free with no signup. All the conversion happens in your browser using JavaScript — nothing you type is sent to a server or stored, so your text stays private.
These styles use standard Unicode combining diacritical marks (U+0336 combining long stroke overlay; U+0332 combining low line). Rendering and alignment depend on each device's installed fonts, so appearance can vary by platform.
