Frequently asked questions

Is the Half-Life controls poster maker free?

Yes — design your Half-Life keybinds poster and download it as a free, lightly watermarked PNG. A print-ready PDF (PC / keyboard edition) is an optional paid upgrade.

Can I choose which Half-Life controls appear?

Yes. Toggle any keybind on or off, reorder them, rename categories, and add your own custom binds.

Which styles can I use?

Start from the Arcade style — generative art based on the game's genre — or switch to the isometric, typewriter, keyboard-map or editorial layouts, and pick your accent colour.

Does the poster use official Half-Life artwork?

No. The poster is built only from the keybinds, text and abstract generated shapes — never logos, covers, screenshots or key art.
