How to put the legend outside the plot

I have a series of 20 plots (not subplots) to be made in a single figure. I want the legend to be outside of the box. At the same time, I do not want to change the axes, as the size of the figure gets reduced. I want to keep the legend box outside the plot area (I want the legend to be outside at the right side of the plot area). Is there a way to reduce the font size of the text inside the legend box, so that the size of the legend box will be small?
You can make the legend text smaller by specifying set_size of FontProperties. Resources: Legend guide matplotlib.legend matplotlib.pyplot.legend matplotlib.font_manager set_size(self, size) Valid font size are xx-small, x-small, small, medium, large, x-large, xx-large, larger, smaller, and None. Real Python: Python Plotting With Matplotlib (Guide) import matplotlib.pyplot as plt from matplotlib.font_manager import FontProperties fontP = FontProperties() fontP.set_size('xx-small') p1, = plt.plot([1, 2, 3], label='Line 1') p2, = plt.plot([3, 2, 1], label='Line 2') plt.legend(handles=[p1, p2], title='title', bbox_to_anchor=(1.05, 1), loc='upper left', prop=fontP) fontsize='xx-small' also works, without importing FontProperties. plt.legend(handles=[p1, p2], title='title', bbox_to_anchor=(1.05, 1), loc='upper left', fontsize='xx-small')
