 * Good morning,
   I think this is a very good plug-in and I wanted to try it out.
   As per the instructions I read, I wanted to transform the images that were in
   JPG and PNG into AVIF, those that were already uploaded. So after installing 
   the plug-in and configuring it, I had the images regenerated by ‘Regenerate Thumbnails’.
   The process worked but the only problem I notice is that the images were all 
   renamed by adding a suffix to the end of the file. For example, if the image 
   was a JPG and named ‘file’, the file was renamed **file~jpg~avif.jpg**. The same
   for PNG files.Thanks for your attention and best regards.

 * Thanks for reaching out [@reteinformatica](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reteinformatica/),
   and appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
 * There is an open GitHub issue with regards removing the file name extension when
   images are generated, see [#545.](https://github.com/WordPress/performance/issues/545)
   While I don’t have a timeframe on this, feel free to chime in on that issue. 
   I’ll add a note of this support topic.
