An embodiment can provide a polyamide-imide film, which has particular punching properties, is colorless and transparent and has excellent mechanical properties and optical properties, and a method for preparing same. The polyamide-imide film comprises a polyamide-imide polymer, which is formed by means of polymerizing an aromatic diamine compound, an aromatic dianhydride compound and a dicarbonyl compound, and satisfies the condition of general formula (1) below. General formula (1) 4≤X/Y≤12 X: the maximum hole diameter (mm) comprising cracks when the film is punched at 10 mm/min using a 2.5 mm spherical tip by means of a UTM compression mode Y: the modulus (GPa) of the film.
