FAQs

What does GIF stand for in Jif peanut butter? ›

Forget the great potato pronunciation debate — in the internet age, it's all about GIF. Just when the world thought that riddle was solved — that GIF, short for graphics interchange format, should be pronounced with a soft G, like the word “gentle” — peanut butter giant Jif is wading into the sticky situation.

Wilhite receives a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Webby Awards and used his platform to make his declaration. “It's pronounced JIF, not GIF.” Just like the peanut butter. “The Oxford English Dictionary accepts both pronunciations,” Wilhite told The New York Times.

As of September 19, 2019, Disney GIF has been removed from the iOS, Google and Amazon App Stores and retired. While the app still may be functional, there are no plans for future updates. Active product support for all versions of the app will no longer be provided.

A QUICK GIF HISTORY

The logic behind this pronunciation comes from what GIF stands for: Graphics Interchange Format. Graphics is pronounced with a hard 'g', so many believe the acronym should follow suit. In 2013, Steve Wilhite, won a Webby Award. Webby acceptance speeches are limited to 5 words to save time.

Van der Meulen's analysis found that 57.2 percent of users who offered an opinion supported the hard g, while 31.8 percent favored the soft g.

GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format – in social media, GIFs are small animations and video footage. A GIF is commonly used to represent a feeling or action.

PNG files can be viewed in almost any image viewer, web browser, and graphic tool. The format has been around since the 90s, and it was created to replace GIF because of licensing fees. It has become one of the most common image formats on the web today.

This brings us to Mickey Mouse. The Steamboat Willie copyright expires in 2024. But Disney still retains trademark rights to use images of Mickey as well as the words “Mickey Mouse” in connection with a variety of products.

Did you know that “GIF” is actually an acronym? There has been some debate surrounding the question of what does GIF stand for, but creator Wilhite confirmed that GIF stands for Graphics Interchange Format. The name was chosen by Wilhite and his team specifically so they could call it a GIF.
