What Is Crossout Text

Crossout text is text with a line through it—often called strikethrough, line-through, or crossed-out text. People use it to show something is edited, cancelled, no longer true, or just for style.

Common uses include:

  • Marking completed tasks (to-do lists)
  • Showing an “old price” vs “new price”
  • Correcting a sentence without deleting it
  • Creating playful captions and jokes
  • Styling usernames and bios with a subtle effect

On FontSt, crossout text is made so you can copy it easily and paste it into social apps, chat apps, and documents.

How To Create Strikethrough Text

There are two practical ways to create strikethrough text:

  1. Use FontSt’s generator (fastest for Copy & Paste)
    • Type your text → pick a crossout style → copy → paste.
  2. Use the built-in formatting of certain apps
    • WhatsApp uses ~text~
    • Google Docs / Word have a Strikethrough button
    • Excel has a strikethrough format option

If you want one version that you can reuse across many platforms, the generator method is usually the easiest.


Cross Out Font Generator

People often search “cross out font” when they really mean “text that looks crossed out.” In most cases, it’s not a traditional font install. It’s a text effect that creates a line-through look using characters that work across platforms.

A cross out font generator helps you:

  • Preview multiple crossout styles
  • Keep your original text intact
  • Copy and paste results instantly
  • Use the same style across different apps

If one style doesn’t display well on a specific device, you can switch to a simpler crossout option in seconds.

Line Through Text

Line through text” is another way to say strikethrough. It’s the same effect: a horizontal line crossing the middle of the characters.

Use line-through text when you want to:

  • Show changes without removing words
  • Make playful “before/after” captions
  • Highlight “not true anymore” phrases
  • Create clean formatting in messages

If you’re posting on social platforms, keep line-through text short. Long crossed-out sentences can reduce readability.


Font With A Line Through It

If you’re looking for a font with a line through it, here’s the key idea:

  • In documents (Docs/Word), strikethrough is a format.
  • In social apps, it’s often a Unicode-style effect you copy and paste.

So the “font” is really the appearance of crossed letters rather than a font file you install. FontSt is useful because it gives you a copy-ready result that can work in bios, captions, comments, and chats.

Strikethrough Text Copy Paste

If your goal is strikethrough text copy paste, the workflow is simple:

  • Type your phrase in the generator
  • Copy the crossout version
  • Paste it into:
    • Instagram bio/caption
    • TikTok profile
    • WhatsApp messages
    • Discord chat
    • Notes, emails, and more

Tip for clean results: Avoid adding extra symbols before and after the crossed-out words. Too many special characters can make the line-through style look messy.

Strikethrough Text Generator One Line

Many users want a strikethrough text generator one line output for bios and quick captions. One-line crossout text works best because it stays readable and looks intentional.

Best one-line ideas:

  • A short phrase: “~new plan~ old plan” style humor
  • A single word correction: “wrong → crossed-out word”
  • A minimal “done” effect for lists
  • A clean pricing format: “old price” crossed out

If you’re using it for a name or username, keep it short and test how it appears on mobile.
