      You can easily answer this for yourself by looking up what the G stands for.

      Wait…

      Unironic answer, the “g” is pronounced, but obviously like the g in give or great, not like j.

        The G in GIF stands for Graphical, but the G in Graphical stands for Graham Crackers, the G in Graham Crackers stands for God, and the G in God stands for Gnu. From there it’s Gnus all the way down. Also, God pronounces “Graphical” with a soft G as in Jod.
