# Strikethrough Text Generator

> Free strikethrough text generator: cross out text with Unicode and copy-paste it into Discord, X, Instagram, WhatsApp and more, plus guides for every app. Conversion runs entirely in the browser; nothing typed is uploaded. Free, no account.

Key facts:
- Copy-paste strikethrough works by adding the Unicode combining long stroke overlay (U+0336) after every character, so the line travels with the text into any app.
- Apps with real formatting have their own syntax: Discord, Reddit, Teams, Telegram and Markdown use ~~text~~; WhatsApp and Slack use ~text~.
- Common shortcuts: Google Docs and Google Sheets Alt+Shift+5 (Windows, ChromeOS) or Cmd+Shift+X (Mac); Excel Ctrl+5; Word on Windows Ctrl+D then Alt+K, Word on Mac Cmd+Shift+X.
- Unicode strikethrough roughly doubles the character count and some screen readers read the marks aloud.
