If they want to include images with text, they can create slides in PowerPoint, save as jpegs, and upload into this program. Here's an example of a video I made using a template, photos, and music available on the website.
Using this website, students can generate their own graphic organizers (GOs) with text and images. It's free and easy, and can be an alternative to Inspiration if all you are looking for is a GO.

This web site works on a points basis and students can only do so much for free.
