Are there any pedals that sit low (below their axle)

As a consequence of swapping to shorter cranks I have to raise my seat up. That means I can no longer reach the ground while on the saddle even with the tip of my feet. Now I wonder if I could swap to using pedals that have a deep ''sit'' so that at the bottom of my pedal stroke my leg extends more and at the up stroke have less bend in the leg. This would allow me to drop the saddle significantly.
If that doesnt exist I am thinking of going to really thin platform pedals and thin soled shoes. That will allow me to reduce saddle height a little bit, probably 2-3 cm compared to what I have now. But going to pedals that sit ''below'' their axle would result in much more reduction. Does something like this exist? If not, somebody should make em !
