"G" as in "Gift". Never made sense to me to use a "J". Especially since the "G" stands for "Graphic".
it's gif, because there is a g here, and it's mostly english native speaking people that call it jif
i read the creator of it said "jif" with a J sound as "jelly" is the correct way to say it.
i still say "gif" like "gift" though
Like "jif". I don't care if you want to pronounce it "gif", just don't preach to me about pronouncing it different.
Its always been Jif
Gif sounds wierd
Its been called jifs for so long, and it untill the last 3 years is when people started to claim that it should be called Gifs
Its been pronounce Jif since the internet became a thing

In my entire life I have never heard it pronounced JIF until I saw the video posted above...for the 10 years I worked in computer programming (both at work and during my studies) every single person pronounced it GIF. Different experiences, I guess.
