how do you pronounce gif

The pronunciation of GIF is a common topic of debate! Here are the two main ways people say it:

  1. "Jif" (with a soft "G," like "giraffe") - This is how the creator of the GIF format, Steve Wilhite, has said it should be pronounced.
  2. "Gif" (with a hard "G," like "gift") - Many people prefer this because the "G" in GIF stands for "Graphics," which is pronounced with a hard "G."

Both pronunciations are widely accepted, so you can use whichever feels more natural to you!
