> Jiff is pronounced like "gif" with a soft "g," as in "gem."
Heh, I see what they did there…

We're only minutes away from GAYPEG, an image format which you pronounce with a soft g, like in GIF.

The author gets to decide IMO. Gif was always pronounced "jif" according to the creator so I hope the creator of this new tool will pronounce Jiff as "gif" to avoid confusion...
