We report a systematic investigation of dc magnetization and ac susceptibility, as well as anisotropic magnetocaloric effect in bulk CrI₃ single crystals. A second-stage magnetic transition was observed just below the Curie temperature T_c, indicating a two-step magnetic ordering. The low temperature thermal demagnetization could be well fitted by the spin-wave model rather than the single-particle model, confirming its localized magnetism. The maximum magnetic entropy change -ΔS$$max\atop{M}$$ ~5.65 J kg^-1 K^-1 and the corresponding adiabatic temperature change ΔT_ad ~2.34 K are achieved from heat capacity analysis with the magnetic field up to 9 T. Anisotropy of ΔS_M (T,H) was further investigated by isothermal magnetization, showing that the difference of -ΔS$$max\atop{M}$$ between the $ab$ plane and the c axis reaches a maximum value ~1.56 J kg^-1 K^-1 with the field change of 5 T. In conclusion, with the scaling analysis of ΔS_M, the rescaled ΔS_M (T,H) curves collapse onto a universal curve, indicating a second-order type of the magnetic transition. Furthermore, the -ΔS$$max\atop{M}$$ follows the power law of Hⁿ with n = 0.64 (1), and the relative cooling power depends on H^m with m = 1.12 (1) .
