The top answers by Paul H and J  Li do not work for all types of seaborn figures  For the FacetGrid type  for instance sns lmplot     use the size and aspect parameter   Size changes both the height and width  maintaining the aspect ratio   Aspect only changes the width  keeping the height constant   You can always get your desired size by playing with these two parameters   Credit  https   stackoverflow com a 28765059 3901029

You need to create the matplotlib Figure and Axes objects ahead of time  specifying how big the figure is   from matplotlib import pyplot import seaborn  import mylib  a4 dims    11 7  8 27  df   mylib load data   fig  ax   pyplot subplots figsize a4 dims  seaborn violinplot ax ax  data df    violin options

first import matplotlib and use it to set the size of the figure  from matplotlib import pyplot as plt import seaborn as sns  plt figure figsize  15 8   ax   sns barplot x  Word   y  Frequency   data boxdata

You can set the context to be poster or manually set fig size   import numpy as np import seaborn as sns import matplotlib pyplot as plt  np random seed 0  n  p   40  8 d   np random normal 0  2   n  p   d    np log np arange 1  p   1     -5   10     plot sns set style  ticks   fig  ax   plt subplots     the size of A4 paper fig set size inches 11 7  8 27  sns violinplot data d  inner  points   ax ax      sns despine    fig savefig  example png

You can also set figure size by passing dictionary to rc parameter with key  figure figsize  in seaborn set method   import seaborn as sns  sns set rc   figure figsize   11 7 8 27      Other alternative may be to use figure figsize of rcParams to set figure size as below   from matplotlib import rcParams    figure size in inches rcParams  figure figsize     11 7 8 27   More details can be found in matplotlib documentation

This can be done using   plt figure figsize  15 8   sns kdeplot data shade True

Note that if you are trying to pass to a  figure level  method in seaborn  for example lmplot  catplot   factorplot  jointplot  you can and should specify this within the arguments using height and aspect   sns catplot data df  x  xvar   y  yvar        hue  hue bar   height 8 27  aspect 11 7 8 27    See https   github com mwaskom seaborn issues 488 and Plotting with seaborn using the matplotlib object-oriented interface for more details on the fact that figure level methods do not obey axes specifications

In addition to elz answer regarding  figure level  methods that return multi-plot grid objects it is possible to set the figure height and width explicitly  that is without using aspect ratio  using the following approach     import seaborn as sns   g   sns catplot data df  x  xvar   y  yvar   hue  hue bar   g fig set figwidth 8 27  g fig set figheight 11 7

For my plot  a sns factorplot  the proposed answer didn t works fine   Thus I use  plt gcf   set size inches 11 7  8 27    Just after the plot with seaborn  so no need to pass an ax to seaborn or to change the rc settings

This shall also work    from matplotlib import pyplot as plt import seaborn as sns      plt figure figsize  15 16   sns countplot data yourdata
