What is a Strikethrough Text Generator?
Strikethrough Text Generator is a free online utility that allows you to transform plain text into a variety of unique styles using Unicode characters. Unlike a standard text editor that uses HTML tags, this tool creates "plain text" strikethrough that you can copy and paste anywhere.
Whether you need to cross out text on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or Discord, our generator uses special Unicode combining characters (like \u0336) to ensure your formatting remains intact no matter where you post it.

Perfect for Social Media & YouTube
Traditional shortcuts for strikethrough text in Word (Alt + H + 4) don't work on the web. Our Unicode Strikethrough Generator is the ultimate workaround for:
- YouTube Titles: Make your video headlines pop! Use crossed-out words in titles to highlight a "Change of Mind" or to create high-click-through visual curiosity.
- Instagram & TikTok: Use strikethrough to cross out your old prices or "yesterday's" goals to show progress and growth in your content.
- Twitter (X): Add context to corrections or strike outdated info without deleting original tweets.
- Excel & Google Docs: Mark tasks as completed in a way that survives cell formatting changes.
Boost Your YouTube Presence
Stand out in a crowded feed with unique text formatting that catches the eye of your subscribers and new viewers alike.
- YouTube Titles: Make your headlines pop! A s̶t̶r̶u̶c̶k̶-̶o̶u̶t̶ word in a title is a proven way to highlight a "Change of Mind" or create curiosity that increases your Click-Through Rate (CTR).
- Descriptions: Organize your video descriptions by crossing out old links, outdated timestamps, or "Previous Price" mentions for affiliate products.
- YouTube Comments: Standard bold and italics are common, but using our generator is the best way to use
strikethrough in comments to add sarcasm, wit, or emphasis to your feedback.
- Community Posts: Use it to build hype by crossing out "Upcoming" dates once a project is live.
Works on WhatsApp, Telegram & Discord
While most chat apps have built-in shortcuts, they are often restricted to the chat window itself. Our Unicode generator allows you to bypass these limits:
- WhatsApp: Native formatting (using ~tildes~) doesn't work in your WhatsApp Bio or Status updates. Use our tool to cross out text in your profile permanently.
- Telegram: Make your Telegram Channel descriptions and "About Me" sections stand out. Our generator is also perfect for adding s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ to your display name.
- Discord: Native markdown (~~text~~) works in messages but fails in Server Nicknames, Channel Names, and Category headers. This tool is the only way to get a crossed-out look in your Discord profile sidebar.
- Cross-Platform: Because this is "Plain Text" Unicode, the strike formatting stays intact even when a message is forwarded from one app to another.
