Here in Germany a g is a g and a j is a j. Its a fucking gif not a jif.

"'if", because real g's move in silence like lasagna

"jiff" is the only correct way

He's just playing advocate to the devil, to get more attention for creating the format. Of course it's not pronounced "jiff", that would be stupid. Also, his opinion stopped mattering when his format became public domain. Why is it spelled "gif" if it's actually pronounced "jiff"? On one hand we have the word "graphic" in the name that would logically imply that the correct pronunciation is a hard "g". On the other hand words like "giraffe" and "germ" are used as examples, but that overlooks the fact that words like "jiffy" and even the peanutbutter brand "jif" exist that are more appropriate in this context. I would pronounce "giffy" with a hard "g", wouldn't you? Any way you spin it pronouncing "gif" as "jiff" is autistic.

The same way you pronounce you are gay.

I prefer the smoother actuation of "jiff" especially when used in conjunction with the word "animated".

"Animated jiff" versus "Animated gif"

also the jif pronunciation is similar to the word jiffy, which fits with the fact that they are short animated files, generally.

I would read "giffy" with a soft G, desu

the answer is G is secretly a vowel because it's the most courageous letter in the alphabet and can do whatever it wants.

How would you spell "giffy" with a hard g?

I say "guff"
