An animated gif is an image that's been encoded using the graphics interchange format where it has multiple frames encoded into a single image file and a web browser or other software will play those images back in animated sequence automatically. ... An animated GIF is a digital version of that.GIF means "Graphics Interchange Format (image type)". The acronym GIF most commonly refers to a short, animated picture without sound.When the GIF was first born in 1987, animation wasn't even in the picture—neither was the World Wide Web. The team of programmers at CompuServe led by Steve Wilhite, the well-known father of the file format, built the GIF around something completely separate from the animation party-trick it's known for today
(GIF /dʒɪf/ JIF or /ɡɪf/ GHIF)

If you don’t already know, gif stands for graphic interchange format. A gif is an animated image, one that moves like an animation. An example of a gif is down below.

Gif is a word that is pronounced with a hard g. The reason it is pronounced with a hard g is because every other word in the english language that starts with gaf, gef, gif, gof and guf, G followed by a vowel followed by an F, starts with a hard g.

Every name that starts with gaf, gef, gif, gof and guf, G followed by a vowel followed by an F starts with a g.

With both of those things in mind, it should be apparent that gif is pronounced with a hard g and not a soft g, atleast phonetically speaking, because according to the creator of the gif, it is pronounced jif.

Well that’s nice, because now I know that if I create a word, I can make it disobey every phonetic rule in the English language.
e.g the word stomach is pronounced stoomocechie.
Jeffrey: Hey Geoffrey, did you see that new jif of that grandma licking her dogs anus?
Geoffrey: Jeffrey, stop. Don’t talk to me ever again. Two things. Firstly, you realize gif is pronounced with a hard g? Also, why are you watching a grandma lick a dog’s anus? That’s sus as fuck. Get some help.
Jeffrey: Okay :(

1. Graphics Interchange Format. GIFs are image files that are compressed to reduce transfer time. It can also use multiple images for animated effects (animated GIFs), but has no sound.

2.What all Tumblr people begin to think in at some point in their blogging experience-It's fact.
1."Did you see those sweet Doctor Who GIFs I created? The timing on the dancing monsters' moves was difficult to sync."

2."Because of Tumblr, I keep thinking of real life in GIF responses, and have no way to express them. It's such a pain."
