How to ignore specific type of files to download in wget?

Use the

 --reject jpg,png  --accept html

options to exclude/include files with certain extensions, see http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#Recursive-Accept_002fReject-Options.

Put patterns with wildcard characters in quotes, otherwise your shell will expand them, see http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/manual/wget.html#Types-of-Files
