Fuck that...JIF sounds like a cleaning product.
It's GIF.

If he wanted it to be pronounced as "JIF", then perhaps he shouldn't have used a G.

Not really, a word starting with G can be pronounced either way

- What if that word is an acronym, with the G standing for "Graphics"?Nathan_Adams

This is a hot debate in geekdom!
Even if the creator did pronounce it 'jif' i myself, like many others, pronounce it 'gif' with a hard G, like 'gift'.Just because he created a file format doesn't mean he transcends speech and language!
I'm going to make a product called 'tizz wozz' but it's pronounced 'mega pants'!! :D
