Fudge that. Hard G for life, homie!
If the creator wanted it pronounced jif, maybe he should have used a j or something other than Graphic Interchanged Format. Graphic. With a hard G. Deal with it.

THIS RIGHT HERE!
Had this conversation with a coworker of mine today. Hard G in graphic so hard G in GIF.

Also, hard G in GIFT, therefore hard G in GIF. The phonic from the first letter doesn't change just because you've added a letter to the end of the word.

Adding letters can change the phonic no matter where it's located. Also, one of the basic rules in English is a 'g' followed by 'i' is always soft with a small handful of exceptions. Gift happens to be one of these exceptions. I've always pronounced it as a J. I'm glad to see I was correct. Get with it scrubs

No one would know what you were talking about if you said jif. Unless it was in context of making pbandjs.

I just have to say that the creator has a troll face. Look at him, he is a troll.

Eligible for a ball tap.

To be fair, he had a stroke in 2000 or 2001, so that may be remnants of the lack of oxygen to his brain. Also, his insistence on JIF vs. GIF is proof of lack of oxygen to his brain.
Also, Jimmy Kimmel sums it up nicely: http://soundcloud.com/readmedotmp3/jimmy-kimmel-live-gif (http://soundcloud.com/readmedotmp3/jimmy-kimmel-live-gif)
