I recently bough Affinity Publisher 2. When I tried to Divide PNG image using Geometry > Divide, the image just disappeared. Does anyone know how to resolve this matter? Thanks.

Hi and welcome to the forums. The Divide command is intended for vector objects, not for bitmapped images. It is used to break up a compound object. When used on an image it just converts the image to a path (a curve) which will be in the rectangular shape of the image. It will be unstroked and unfilled at first.

Please let us know what you are trying to do and somebody will be able to help.

Good luck

Interestingly if I convert the "Image" layer to a "Curve" layer before applying a Geometry option then the resulting curve gets the image as bitmap fill. Also an "Image" inside a "Picture Frame" works with Geometry: it converts to Picture Frame to Curve but maintains the Image as child layer.

From this view the OP's result might be an issue / bug in the app.
(…unless it is meant 'by design' as an option to turn an "Image" layer into a rectangular "Curve" with no fill/stroke. – But for what use cases?)
