Some say gif, others say gif. The people saying gif are correct.
Ya damn giraffe-loving gifter
Whatever causes the asker to have the biggest breakdown at the time!
“4G-LTE”? Well that’s ‘Forgull’ty’
Like the G in “gigantic”.
I take the third route and pronounce it Heef, as in Spanish
I will face Jod and walk backward into hell before I say “jiff”
Clearly you’re not a choosy mom.
Plebe moms choose ghif.
Yiff
Um, I don’t know how to tell you, but that means a wiiiildly different thing. 🤣
Jif

We all know it’s pronounced “gif”.
Yeah with the g like in garage.
Or the g in gigantic.

Jraphic interface format really sounds right /s
I was devastated to learn the creators intended it to be pronounced “jif” like the peanut butter brand
One of the few times I don’t care what the creator says, he was wrong.
Yeah, because it’s a jraphical interface format.
Why do people have to pronounced it in any way? Why not say G-I-F? I’ve been saying it like that since before I knew about the huge debate💀
Cuz the devs explicitly named it after the peanut butter and even gave it a catchphrase to make sure you pronounced it correctly. It was a marketing campaign. “Choosy developers choose gif”.
How do you pronounce JIF, then? (That’s the JPEG Interchange Format.)
Gif, clearly.
Because that’s 3 syllables instead of 1. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
It’s yiff, like furry sex. But in all seriousness, if you don’t pronounce it with a hard g, then you can f##k off on the short bus.
You had me until the short bus joke. Are you aware that’s
vaguelysuper ableist?
Hard G. It’s “Graphics Interchange Format”, not “Jraphics Interchange Format”.
Does that mean you also pronounce scuba sku•ba instead of skoo•bah? Because that U stands for Underwater not OOnderwater. And what about Jpeg? Shouldn’t it be Jeg because the P in photographic is silent.
Or jfeg because photography has an f sound.
It’s soft g gif. Because the original joke was choosy moms choose jif, and choosy web developers choose gif.
Try to pronounce the letter G. What does it sound like? Hard or soft G?
Now, while pronouncing “G”, close your lips to make the sound “G-if”.
There you have it, how to pronounce “Gif”.
Ps: honestly, That just popped up in my head a moment ago and I’m just trying to troll, wholeheartedly I believe it is hard-G as in Graphics.

According to wikipedia the phonetic usage includes:
[g] [d͡ʒ] [ʒ] [ŋ] [j] [ɣ~ʝ] [x~χ] [d͡z] [ɟ] [k] [ɠ] [ɢ] /dʒiː/For English pronunciation it lists:
/dʒ/ /ɡ/ /ʒ/ and silent
