Frequently asked questions
Is Strikethrough Text free to use?
Yes. Strikethrough Text is completely free with no account, no trial and no usage cap. Every feature on this page is available on the first visit.
Does Strikethrough Text upload your text to a server?
No. Strikethrough Text processes your text inside your browser, so it never reaches a DocTools server. That also means the tool keeps working if your connection drops mid-task.
Is there a file size limit?
The practical ceiling is your device's available memory rather than a server quota. Files up to roughly 100 MB work comfortably on a typical laptop in Strikethrough Text.
Do I need to install anything to use Strikethrough Text?
No installation is needed. Strikethrough Text runs in Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari, on desktop and on mobile, with no extension or plugin.
Can I use Strikethrough Text on a phone or tablet?
Yes. The Strikethrough Text interface adapts to small screens and supports touch input, though very large jobs are faster on a desktop browser.
What happens to your text when I close the tab?
It is discarded. Strikethrough Text keeps everything in temporary browser memory, so closing the tab removes every trace of the session.
