Add strikethrough to PDF text online

Cross out text in a PDF to mark a deletion, revision, rejected clause, or completed checklist item. Select the Strikethrough annotation, drag across the text, and choose a color that remains clear during review.

The mark is exported as a PDF annotation, so the original wording stays readable for revision history. You can remove the annotation or undo it before downloading the reviewed document.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PDF Strikethrough Tool really free?+

Yes. OnePDFs is free to use, requires no account, and does not add an extra OnePDFs branding watermark; watermark tools add only the watermark you choose.

Is my PDF file safe and private?+

Your files stay on your device and are processed locally in your browser; no upload to our PDF processing service is required. A browser copy can remain in this site's IndexedDB until you clear site data or the browser evicts it.

Can I strikethrough text in a scanned PDF?+

The strikethrough tool needs selectable PDF text. Image-only scanned pages need OCR before their words can be selected; this tool does not run OCR automatically.

Does strikethrough delete or replace the original text?+

No. It exports a standard PDF StrikeOut annotation over the selected words, so the original wording remains available for review.
