GIH-FFHH

That's how I do it.

Gif stands for graphics interchange format

G-raphics

I just call it how the guy who made it calls it.

Jiff.


JIF.

it was originally pronounced like the peanut butter and had it's own catchphrase too

"choosy coders choose GIF"

Whoever pronounces it like the word gift doesn't know that it was originally pronounced like the peanut butter brand.

It's a Jiff sound when I pronounce it.
