Is this the same as HTML tag?

Visually yes, but technically no. HTML tags tell a browser to draw a line. This tool creates a new 'character' that includes the line, so it works where HTML is blocked (like in a tweet).

Can I remove the strikethrough later?

If you paste it into a text editor, you'll have to delete the text and retype it, or use a 'text cleaner' tool. You can't just 'uncheck' a bold button like in Word.

Will it work on my phone?

Yes, standard strikethrough unicode is supported on all modern smartphones and computers.

Strikethrough Text Overview

Add strikethrough to text

The Strikethrough Text Generator gives you the ability to cross out text in environments that don't allow rich text formatting. While Word or Google Docs have a button for this, social media bios, text messages, and comment sections usually don't. This tool uses a special 'combining long stroke overlay' character to draw a line through your letters. It is widely used to denote corrections, sarcasm, or 'deleted' thoughts (e.g., 'I really hate love this'). The tool supports multiple styles including the classic straight line (Strikethrough), a Tilde strike (Wavy), and a Slash strike, giving you creative freedom over your 'corrections'.

How to Use Strikethrough Text

Type your text to cross out.
Choose your style: Straight (—), Tilde (~), or Slash (/).
The tool overlays the strike mark on every character.
Copy the result instantly.
Paste into Twitter, Instagram, or WhatsApp.
