This is actually EXACTLY how I say it.

"Gee-eye-eff"

exactly.  

I pronounce it .gif  

I hate when people pronounce it like jif in tutorials and other videos. They are just teaching more people the incorrect way of saying it. If it was intended to be said like "Jif" it would make sense to spell it that way.  

How do you start a thread?  

I pronouce .gif as "dot gee-eye-eff"

It stands for "Graphics Interchange Format" I dont know how they could get a J in there.

Another way to get the .GIF line out of Bob Berry [an image] using standard Unix tools:

|s,Oh, incidentally, it'spronounced "JIF"

 

I have never actually had to pronounce .gif in real life. In my mind though I think of it as gee-eye-ef.  

I say jif but then david said gif and i was like wtf is that so now i say both depending on who i am talking to  

technically, it is "gif" "ping" "jay-peg" ect. but in my mind i think "ping" is real stupid sounding so i say "pee-enn-gee".

The epitome of ignorance.  

How I pronounce extensions:
JPEG: "Jay-Pee-Ee-Gee"
GIF: "Gee-Eye-Eff"
PNG: "Pee-Enn-Gee"
EXE: "Ee-Ex-Ee"

And so on
