Strikethrough Text Generator

Add a line through, under or over your text, then paste it anywhere. Each letter gets a combining line character, so it works even where there is no formatting button.

Many apps already have strikethrough

Built-in formatting stays plain text underneath, so it is easier to search and read aloud. Use it when the app has it.

Why the line can look broken

Each letter carries its own short line. Some fonts draw it a little higher or lower, so you may see small gaps between letters.
