G like the g in beige, with a long I. "Zhaif"

It's pronounced GIF, duh.

I just read it as it appears, phonetically, like any other word. Gif.

Those who say it with a hard G must also say JFEG using the same logic. I'm fine with someone saying it either way, it's been around so long that I think the choices tend to be regional (aka BBS era).
How would you pronounce JFEG other than J-Feg
The file format is JPEG (or JPG). Its commonly pronounced "jay-peg", but if we demand that GIF is a hard-G because of "Graphics", then we must abide JPEG being pronounced "jay-feg" or "jay-pheg" because of "Photographic".
