Jiff is the correct pronunciation

"jif" just sounds more natural.

Been pronouncing it that way the moment I saw the word.

Jiff sounds like peanut butter and, as previously stated, is already the name of a different extension (.jif).

When you have to spell the word differently to explain how you pronounce it, you're already losing.


When you dont understand that the letter g has more than one correct pronunciation, you were never even a player


That's some damn fine roasting sir

1. The creator is an engineer, not a linguist
2. There's already a jif file format
3. hard "g" is consistent with gift which is the closest word to gif that we have.

end of story

It's one thing to have your own idea of how it should be pronounced.

But when you say the creator is wrong lol, that's just childish.

You can't just make up a pronunciation and expect it not to be corrected by people who didn't sleep through their English classes

You're 100% right. Let's celebrate our understanding over a glass of gin.

All jabs aside though, both pronunciations are perfectly valid. But saying that one is grammatically incorrect is just demonstrably false. The closest thing to an "official" pronunciation is what the creator said.

The thing to take away from all this is just pronounce from your heart and live your life brah
