It isn’t, really. There’s no rule or other logical to pronounce GIF in any other way, unless you count author intent, in which case you would have to start every phone call with “ahoy-hoy” like Mr Burns since that’s what Bell proposed.
I wonder which order of discovery would be the least preposterous for the two things to be connected: finding out about the exercise fad at my semi-weekly training sesh with Gary or getting the idea of giraffe ownership from today’s hot new animal imitation workout 🤔
No it isn’t, you pronounce an acronym as if it was its own word. The A and O in NATO are pronounced nothing like the ones in Atlantic and Organisation.
No thanks, I’ll just continue to pronounce the g in graphics correctly.
One problem: it’s Joint Photographic Experts Group, so by that logic, Jpeg is actually Jfeg… I agree with the pronunciation, but your logic is flawed.

NOOOOOOOO DONT DO THIS NOOOOO
Giraffics?
Nah, that’s the novelty exercise class I joined last Tuesday.
It’s also the training program for your exotic pet.

That is not how acronyms work tho.
It kinda is. Unless you have a REALLY good reason not to, you pronounce the letters in the same way as you would if you were saying the whole word.
There is no such reason in this case.

Its own word starting with the same letter variant as the first component word.
Gif stands for “graphics interchange format”, or a graphics card. You don’t call it a jraphics card or a yraphics card.
Joint Photographic Expert Group. Do you pronounce the image format Jfeg?
I agree it’s hard g gif, but your logic is flawed.
This is the way.
