The invention discloses aluminum foil used for a 6811 alloy automotive radiator and a preparing method thereof. The aluminum foil comprises, by weight, 0.45%-0.55% of iron, 1.05%-1.25% of manganese, 0.44%-0.58% of silicon, 0.01%-0.05% of magnesium, 0.10%-0.15% of copper and 1.4%-1.6% of zinc, the weight percentage of titanium, the weight percentage of nickel, the weight percentage of chromium and the weight percentage of zirconium are smaller than 0.045%, the content of unavoidable single impurity is smaller than 0.05%, the total content of unavoidable impurities is smaller than 0.15%, and the balance aluminum. The process is simple, energy is saved, and the yield is higher than that of hot rolling by 15%; a researched and developed product is low in cost, good in plate shape, excellent in welding performance and conducting performance, and stable in quality and performance when used by users.
