What is Strikethrough Text Generator?
Strikethrough Text Generator is a free, browser-based tool in the Text Tools suite. Generate strikethrough text using Unicode combining character (U+0336). Perfect for showing corrections, sarcastic edits, comedic crossed-out text, and Discord/Twitter style.
The headline benefit: struck text — s̶t̶r̶i̶k̶e̶ for corrections & memes.
Unlike most online tools that upload your file to a server, process it, and send it back, Strikethrough Text Generator runs entirely in your browser. Open DevTools → Network while using it and you'll see zero file-upload requests — only static assets (JavaScript, CSS, fonts) load. Your data never leaves your device.
Why use this strikethrough text generator?
Three reasons EasyFileKit's Strikethrough Text Generator stands out from the crowd:
Private by design — all processing happens locally via JavaScript and WebAssembly. No server ever sees your input.
Instant — no upload wait, no queue, no server round-trip. Results appear the moment you act.
Free & unlimited — no accounts, no watermarks, no daily caps. Use it as many times as you like.

Step 2. The styled output appears instantly below.
Step 3. Click 'Copy' to grab the styled text.
Step 4. Paste it into any app — social media, messaging, or documents.
That's it. No sign-up, no upload bar, no waiting. If something doesn't work as expected, check the FAQ below.
Common use cases for Strikethrough Text Generator
People reach for Strikethrough Text Generator in a few recurring situations:
When you need the result now and can't wait for a server-based tool to upload, queue, and process your file.
When your file is private or sensitive — financial documents, personal photos, medical PDFs — and you don't want it travelling across the internet.
When you're on a slow or metered connection — uploading a 50 MB file just to compress it makes no sense when the same work can happen locally.
When you've hit the daily limit or paywall on another "free" tool site.
Privacy: what actually happens to your data
This is the single most important point about Strikethrough Text Generator, so it deserves its own section.
You can verify this yourself in under 30 seconds:
Open Strikethrough Text Generator in your browser.
Press F12 to open DevTools.
Switch to the Network tab and tick "Disable cache".
Use the tool — drop a file, type text, whatever the tool needs.
Watch the Network log. You'll see only static assets (JS, CSS, fonts, icons). No request contains your data.
This isn't a setting you toggle or a promise in a privacy policy — it's how the tool is architecturally built. There is no upload endpoint to call.
Strikethrough Text Generator: EasyFileKit vs server-based tools
Most "free" online tools that do what Strikethrough Text Generator does follow the same model: you upload your file to their server, they process it with a backend script, then they send the result back. Here's the honest comparison:
| Feature | EasyFileKit | Server-based tools |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Instant (no upload) | Slower (upload + queue + download) |
| Privacy | Complete | Your file is on someone else's computer |
| Cost | Free, unlimited | Often capped or "premium" gated |
| Works offline | Yes (PWA) | No |
|---|---|---|
Server-based tools aren't evil — they exist because some tasks genuinely need heavy backend compute. But for everything Strikethrough Text Generator does, client-side processing is strictly better for you.
Under the hood: how Strikethrough Text Generator works
Strikethrough Text Generator is built with modern browser APIs. Depending on what it does, it may use:
Canvas API — for image manipulation (pixel-level access, filters, resizing).
Web Crypto API — native, hardware-accelerated cryptography (AES-GCM, SHA-256, PBKDF2) for any encryption or hashing.
pdf-lib / pdf.js — fully client-side PDF creation and rendering.
MediaRecorder API — for capturing screen, audio, and video.
WebAssembly — for heavy codecs (image compression, media processing).
All of these run inside your browser's sandbox. They cannot access your filesystem (beyond files you explicitly choose), cannot make network requests with your data, and cannot run persistently in the background.
Pro tips for getting the most out of Strikethrough Text Generator
Bookmark the tool — it works offline once cached, so you can use it even without a connection.
Install EasyFileKit as a PWA — open the browser menu and choose "Install app" for a standalone window and offline access.
Use it on mobile — every tool is fully responsive and works on phones and tablets, not just desktops.
No file size anxiety — because nothing uploads, you can process large files that server-based tools would reject or charge for.
