    Hard G. It’s funny when the creator of the gif format said it should be pronounced with j when it stands for “graphical interlaced format” — pretty clear case for G.

    Though isn’t it too late for this question as gifs are dead? as in we’ve migrated to video formats. AFAIK all of the modern browsers support playing short videos on a loop these days just like gifs just more efficient and hackable/extendable.

      Agreed. It’s not Jraphical.

      Although, given Facebook just paid $400 million to buy Giphy, so they’re pretty much alive and kicking thanks to social media and chat apps.

        most of giphy’s “gifs” are in mp4 though.
