What Is Strikethrough Text and Why Use It?
Strikethrough text is text that has a line drawn through the middle of words, as it if had been crossed out. For example, this text has strikethrough. The strikethrough text style shows that something has been deleted while still being present and is often used for comedic or academic editing. Strikethrough is commonly used for:
- Corrections: To indicate incorrect or outdated information while keeping it visible
- Editing: To cross out unnecessary words or sentences
- Emphasis: To highlight something that is incorrect
- Invalidation: To mark clauses as no longer valid in legal documents
- Design: For aesthetic and typographical purposes
- Humour: To create ironic or sarcastic effects by "crossing out" what you really mean
How to Create Strikethrough Text?
To create cross out text for Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms, you can use the strikethrough text generator. Simply type or paste content into the text generator. This tool uses special Unicode text and characters to achieve the appearance of strikethrough, meaning that your text retains its strikethrough appearance when pasted across other platforms and apps.
You can personalise your text by choosing from a variety of strikethrough styles (dotted line, wavy line, or even two lines) and you can combine your strikethrough text with underline text to create unique effects.
