Strikethrough text is one of the most versatile formatting tricks on the internet — the visual shorthand for corrections, sarcasm, irony, humor, before-and-after reveals, and crossed-out sale prices. Whether you want to show you're 'canceling' something, display a price discount, add a sarcastic edit to a post, or just make your content more visually interesting — our strikethrough text generator creates crossed-out Unicode text you can copy and paste into Instagram, Twitter/X, Discord, Reddit, TikTok, WhatsApp, and any platform that renders Unicode. No markdown, no apps, no sign-up — just type, cross it out, and copy paste.

The key difference between this generator and Discord's built-in ~~strikethrough~~ markdown: our Unicode strikethrough works everywhere. Discord markdown strikethrough only works inside message channels and won't display in usernames, server names, or bios. Our Unicode crossed-out text renders in bios, display names, usernames, captions, comments, and any text field on any platform — Instagram, Twitter/X, TikTok, Reddit, Facebook, and beyond. Use it for sale price displays (w̶a̶s̶ ̶$̶5̶0̶, now $25), sarcastic corrections, comedic edits, redacted-style content, and creative before-after comparisons. Type your text above, pick a strikethrough style, and copy paste your crossed-out text in one click.

Why Does Strikethrough Text Copy and Paste Work Everywhere?

Strikethrough text from this generator works on every platform because it uses Unicode combining characters — specifically Unicode Combining Long Stroke Overlay (U+0336) and similar characters — that attach a strikethrough mark to each letter. These are real Unicode characters built into every operating system and device. When you paste the strikethrough text into Instagram, Twitter, Discord, Reddit, TikTok, or any other platform, each app renders the Unicode combining character it receives and displays the line through the letter. No markdown formatting is used, no special app is needed, and no font file needs to be installed. The strikethrough is baked into the text itself at the character level — which is why it works in usernames, bios, and display names where markdown like ~~this~~ fails. This also means your crossed-out text keeps its strikethrough appearance when someone copies it, quotes it, or shares it — because the combining character travels with the letter wherever the text goes.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I cross out text without using Discord markdown?

Discord's ~~strikethrough~~ markdown only works inside message channels — it won't display in usernames, bios, or server names. This generator uses Unicode strikethrough characters instead, which work everywhere: Discord usernames, Instagram bios, Twitter/X display names, TikTok captions, Reddit posts, and WhatsApp. Just type your text, copy the crossed-out version, and paste it anywhere — no markdown formatting needed.

What can I use strikethrough text for on social media?

Strikethrough text is one of the most versatile text effects for social media. US creators use it for: showing sale prices (w̶a̶s̶ ̶$̶5̶0̶, now $25), sarcastic humor (I totally d̶i̶d̶n̶'̶t̶ eat the whole pizza), before-and-after reveals, mock corrections, task completion lists, and redacted-style mystery content. It's especially popular on Twitter/X, Discord, and Reddit for comedic and editorial posts.

Does strikethrough text copy and paste work on Instagram?

Yes — unlike HTML or markdown strikethrough, Unicode strikethrough characters work in Instagram bios, captions, comments, and usernames. Instagram renders standard Unicode text, so your s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶t̶h̶r̶o̶u̶g̶h̶ text displays with the line through it on every iPhone and Android. Just copy from this generator and paste directly into the Instagram app — no workarounds needed.

Are strikethrough fonts useful for showing price discounts?

Yes — one of the most common business uses of strikethrough text is showing original prices alongside discounted prices. Instead of saying "was $100, now $75", you can write "$̶1̶0̶0̶ $75" for a cleaner visual impact in social media posts, Instagram captions, and product descriptions. It instantly communicates a sale or discount without extra words.

How do strikethrough fonts enhance creative writing and humor?

Creative writers and comedians love strikethrough text for showing internal edits, character thoughts, sarcastic corrections, and stream-of-consciousness writing. The humor comes from the fake-retraction technique — writing something then "crossing it out" while leaving it visible. This creates relatable, comedic content that performs well on Twitter/X, TikTok captions, and Discord messages.
