Strike Text Overview
Strikethrough overlay using combining characters for crossed‑out effects (e.g., corrections or jokes). Visibility depends on platform rendering, since it relies on combining marks. Use for short edits rather than long passages.
Mark edits, jokes, or price drops with a clean strike—cross out words for quick corrections in Obsidian notes, Google Docs suggestions, or Confluence changelogs; paste your text, generate, then copy.
Strike Text — editorial strikethrough for clear revisions
This tool overlays each character with a combining long stroke (Unicode strikethrough), producing true crossed-out text that stays selectable, searchable, and lightweight. It’s ideal for before/after phrasing, inline edits, and playful sarcasm where meaning depends on the contrast.
Use for
- Quick corrections and markup in captions, specs, and release notes.
- Pricing tweaks (e.g., ̶$̶2̶9̶ → $19) and limited-time offers.
- Humor and tone shifts where the crossed word sets up the punchline.
How to apply
- Paste your text in the left box.
- Generate the strike set and copy the output.
- Use it on short words or tokens—keep long passages in regular text for comfort.
Craft notes
- Rendering can vary slightly by font/OS; test critical posts if alignment matters.
- Numbers and punctuation are supported, but dense math or long codes read better unstruck.
- Leave whitespace around struck labels so the line doesn’t visually merge with neighbors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I use strike text?
You can paste strike text anywhere that supports Unicode characters—most social networks, chats, bios, and document editors. Some older devices may fall back to plain characters.
Does strike text help or hurt SEO?
It remains real, copyable text (not images), so crawlers can still read it. Use strike for emphasis in short phrases while keeping your main content in normal text for maximum readability.
Can I mix strike with emojis and normal letters?
Yes. strike blends fine with standard characters and emojis. For clarity, keep decorative styling to short names, headings, or callouts rather than full paragraphs.
Any platform limitations for strike?
Rendering depends on the viewer’s font support. A few apps or older OS versions may display fallback boxes for some glyphs. Test your post on target platforms if it must be perfect.
Best uses for strike?
strike works well for bios, usernames, section titles, and short highlights. Avoid long blocks of strike to keep readability and accessibility high.
