How do you pronounce gif? ("jif" or "gif")

I know a lot of people say it differently so yeah man lemme know.  PepeOk

I have actually found out that the dude who literally invented gifs pronounces it like "jif". So that's how I have always pronounced it.

Idk if its just people's accent or not. Usually it's pronounced as "gif" no J involved.

I guess its "jif" then since the person who invented gifs pronounces them that way.

"The debate over how to pronounce GIF, which stands for Graphics Interchange Format, re-emerged this week when Steve Wilhite, the inventor of the widely used Web illustration, declared it should be pronounced “jif,” like the brand of peanut butter, rather than with a hard G sound."

Found this in an article. The dood says so himself.
