Usage Note
Gif is an invariable loanword from English (Graphics Interchange Format), used in Italian exactly as in English for short looping animated images. Its grammatical gender is feminine (la gif, le gif) in most Italian style guides, though masculine usage also occurs online. The plural is unchanged: le gif.
