The letter G itself is pronounced with the “j” sound.
I started out pronouncing GIF by saying the letters: “g-I-f.” It eventually shortens into “jif.”

Weird, you could totally spell G as jee. I wonder how many letters you can accurately spell without using the letter itself

So you pronounce graphics as jraphics?
-
that's a single word. When we make acronyms, they're subject to the pronunciation rules of the new word they've become, not the word the letter is sourced from -- This is pretty obvious if you think about it for a minute.
It's NATO but we say atlantic It's SCUBA but we say underwater

I was addressing "The letter G itself is pronounced with the “j” sound." because letters can make more than one sound.
-
right but their position relative to other letters form syllables and does have (some) rules. GIF GI-F, like Gi-raf-fe
