Video Text:

How is this word pronounced?
Well, it’s short for Graphics Interchange Format.
G, I, F. Gif, hard G.
But the guy who created this format ;actually says it’s pronounced as “jif”.
If we look at words with G-I, how is the G pronounced?
We have examples of both. For example: This gift is from my mom. Or: I get the gits of it. At this point, most dictionaries list both pronunciations.
So the answer is,
you can actually use whichever pronunciation you like best.
Gif or gif.

Gif, gif .
