The invention relates to a method for preparing chrome resorcin-ate. The method includes the following steps of 1, the salt forming reaction step, wherein resorcin acid, chromic oxide, initiators and water are put into a reaction kettle in the molar ratio of 1:15:0.65-0.825:0.2-0.5, the mixture is heated to 70 DEG C to 80 DEG C while stirring, reacting is carried out for 5 h to 7 h to enable carbon dioxide to overflow, and the chrome resorcin-ate is obtained; 2, the drying step, wherein the chrome resorcin-ate crystals obtained in the step 1 are centrifugally separated to obtain granular chrome resorcin-ate, the granular chrome resorcin-ate is placed into a drying sieve to be dried in a drying box, sieving is carried out after drying, and the finished chrome resorcin-ate is obtained. According to the method, during material putting, sodium resorcin-ate is replaced by the resorcin acid, chromium sulfate is replaced by the chromic oxide, and the obtained product is only the chrome resorcin-ate; the product is single, high in purity, granular and easy to dry after being separated, the obtained crystal product does not need to be smashed, and a large amount of dust is avoided.
