Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different strikethrough styles?
We offer 4 unique styles: Standard (continuous line), Short (stops between letters), Slant (looks like scratching out), and Tilde (wavy line).
How does the Slant Strike work?
The Slant style uses the 'Long Solidus Overlay' character (U+0338). It places a diagonal slash through each letter, creating a 'prohibited' or 'cancelled' look.
Can I use Tilde Strike on Discord?
Discord uses ~~text~~ for standard strikethrough. Our Tilde Strike (s̴t̴r̴i̴k̴e̴) is a visual effect using Unicode, so it looks different and works even in your username or bio.
Which style is best for corrections?
The Standard Strike is best for showing deleted text because it's the most legible. The Slant Strike is great for impactful 'cancelled' warnings.
Does this work in Excel?
Yes, because these are characters, not formatting. You can paste them into Excel cells without using the strikethrough button.
Is there a limit on text length?
No practical limit. You can paste entire paragraphs to cross them out.
How do I remove the lines?
The lines are special characters added to your text. To remove them, delete the text and re-type it, or use a 'Clean Text' tool.
Is it safe to use?
Completely. All processing happens right in your browser; no text is sent to our servers.
What is Short Strike used for?
Short Strike uses a shorter line segment. On some fonts, this creates a 'dashed' look rather than a continuous line, which can be a unique stylistic choice.
Can I combine styles?
It's best to stick to one style for readability. Adding multiple combining characters can make the text look messy.
