The present invention relates to a method for preparing a graft copolymer including polymerizing a conjugated diene-based monomer to prepare a small-size conjugated diene-based polymer; enlarging the small-size conjugated diene-based polymer to prepare a large-size conjugated diene-based polymer; and polymerizing the small-size conjugated diene-based polymer, the large-size conjugated diene-based polymer, an aromatic vinyl-based monomer and a vinyl cyan-based monomer to prepare a graft copolymer, wherein a weight ratio of the small-size conjugated diene-based polymer and the large-size conjugated diene-based polymer is 10:90 to 40:60 in preparing the graft copolymer.
