  • libjxl

    JPEG XL image format reference implementation

    The tiniest vector graphics you can get is JPEG-XL. The predictor can be programmed to render splines[1] and you have layers. This covers a lot of what you can do with svg.

  • svgomg

    Web GUI for SVGO

    I came here to say the same thing.

    Somebody recently pointed me at a nice online GUI for svgo, so you can try it for yourself without installing anything: https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/

  • svgcleaner

    Discontinued svgcleaner could help you to clean up your SVG files from the unnecessary data.

    I'm not sure, but it seems svgcleaner can remove unused and invisible graphical elements[1]. I don't know if TinyVG preserves them. but if it does, it's not a fair comparison.

    Did you try converting svgcleaner processed SVG to a TVG?
