How to Pronounce GIF.

This pronunciation is correct.

‘According to Steve Wilhite, the creator of the GIF format, the original pronunciation deliberately echoes the American peanut butter brand, Jif, and the employees of CompuServe would often say “Choosy developers choose GIF”, spoofing this brand’s television commercials.This pronunciation was also identified by CompuServe in their documentation of a graphics display program called CompuShow.’

From the gif wikipedia page under pronunciation.
