Jif (I have no idea if it's the "correct" pronunciation)
I've heard a story that the original inventor of the GIF said it's pronounced "jif" near the end of his life, but I have no idea if this is actually real or just some silly myth.

I searched it up, it seems it is indeed pronounced "jif" :sign_search:
well, that depends. did snopes analyze the rumor?

Just simply Jiff. Well actually I find myself alternating with giff, but mostly find I say Jiff more.
