Well since it stands for Graphics Interchange Format I would have to assume the "G" would be pronounces that same way as the "G" in the root word Graphics. It's not Jraphics. so...

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.

@rhs hahaha how have I never seen that? Thanks Russell!!

@abadesi @rhs Well he is clearly wrong! LOL ;) Just having to use a different spelling to explain it should be a clue that he made the wrong decision. Moving on, is it really Lady Ja Ja??? I've spent 20 years saying Gif and I'm not changing now.

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"

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.
