Strikethrough text
Transform any text with a strikethrough effect using Unicode combining characters. This tool overlays a crossing line on each letter, number and punctuation mark, making the text appear struck through while remaining readable. The result is often used in drafts to show deleted content, track changes during editing, or add visual emphasis to specific words or phrases.
Choose from three distinct visual styles: the long stroke is the classic strikethrough, the short slash creates a subtle effect, and the wavy tilde offers a playful variant. Each option overlays a combining Unicode character directly onto the base characters, so the strikethrough effect displays correctly across browsers and platforms. Whitespace and line breaks are preserved exactly, so your text formatting stays intact.
This tool is perfect for showing revision history in shared documents, marking items as done in a checklist, or simply adding a creative typographic effect to text. The output uses standard Unicode combining diacritics, not images or unusual encodings, so it works in emails, chat, social media and anywhere text can be pasted.
Everything runs locally in your browser, so nothing you enter is sent to a server. Your text is safe for sensitive notes, drafts and client work. Once you have the result, copy it to the clipboard with one click or download it as a plain text file.
