I thought it was named after jiffy, because gifs are smaller than jpgs and download faster.
No, they've explicitly said that it is pronounced JIF because it is named after JIFF the peanut butter. The creator has stated such since the beginning.
Well, I know Jif as a cleaning product. Not recommended for a sandwich.

I was joking...
Technically it should be a soft G as in gym.
I do know that acronyms are to be pronounced as a single word.
G is soft most commonly when preceding an i, e, or y, but it's not a rule.
So at this point is it up to the acronym creator to dictate acronym pronunciation? Or does the most common method, in this case, soft G, take prescience for all languages, in the created language, depend on language, etc?
