Slash Text Generator

Two slash styles

Short slash draws a small diagonal stroke over each character, n̷o̷, which keeps letters easy to read. Slash uses a longer stroke that runs from corner to corner, s̸p̸o̸i̸l̸e̸r̸s̸, and looks more like a crossed-out sign.

Like strikethrough, both styles add a combining mark after every character instead of swapping the letter itself. Your original letters stay underneath, so accents, numbers and symbols are all kept, and the spaces between words stay clean.

When a slash beats a straight line

A horizontal line reads as “edited” or “old price”. A diagonal slash reads more like “forbidden” or “cancelled”, the same idea as a no-smoking sign. That makes it fun for M̸o̸n̸d̸a̸y̸s̸, plans that fell through and topics that are banned in a group chat. If you want the edited look instead, use strikethrough text.

Keep the dose small. One slashed word lands as a joke; a whole slashed sentence is simply hard to read. Pairing the slashed word with a plain explanation in the same caption keeps the meaning clear for everyone, including people who can’t see the strokes.

Before you post

The longer slash covers a lot of each letter, so pick the short version for anything people need to read. The stroke is drawn by the font on each device, so on some screens it may lean at a different angle or sit off center; check a preview first. Screen readers may skip the slashes entirely, so a listener hears an ordinary word, and in-app search may not match slashed words.
