Do you think it's pronounced "GIF or "JIF"?

Contraversial! Someone told me the inventor of the term says 'jif' even though most folks use 'gif' and that really threw me. Up to that point I assumed it was a hard g at the front.

It's "jif". When you invent your own file format, you get to decide what it's called.

I don't care what people say it's pronounced "gif"

I know it's pronounced JIF but I pronounce it GIF anyway

Of course it's pronounced "JIF" because it's short for Giraffe-ics Interchange Format.

Don't care what the founder/creator/inventor says...it will always be GIF in my head.

What a jift to humanity

G is fro graphics not jraphics

Is it GIPHY or JIFFY?

Jif is peanut butter- Don't mess with peanut butter.

Anyone who falls under the "hard g for graphics" reasoning better say "jay-feg" 😁 JIF forever!

I am the only one on my team to pronounce it "jif"... and I will never give in.

It's a short for Graphics Interchange Format. So it has to be hard-G. Also the Cambridge dictionary has hard-G. https://dictionary.cambridge.org...

"Graphics Interchange Format" - it's a hard "g" folks, not rocket science. "JIF" is a peanut butter brand, creamy or crunchy.

Many keyboards have been destroyed in about this very own issue. Perhaps, many more keyboard warriors spirits crushed recklessly...,

One wouldn’t say, “Be there in a giffy,” would one 😂

I'm sticking with jif, so there...

All right thinking people who have been working in the tech industry since the late-80's/early-90's know that it's pronounced 'JIF'. Young Hotshot Code Monkey: "JUST ASK AROUND, EVERYONE AGREES IT PRONOUNCED 'GIF'!!" Me: "OK, Millennial"
