I'm only 23 years old, and I hail from the East Coast of Canada. I've never heard anyone pronounce it "Jif", but I had read on reddit that some people have had the opposite experience, never hearing the "Giff" pronunciation.

Yeah, the creator has recently come out and has said that that is the correct pronunciation.

I've pronounced it like JIF since the mid-90's when I first learned of GIFs. I've had to send many people here to prove I wasn't crazy: http://www.olsenhome.com/gif/
