Yes, size (length, diametre, highness) is, like all physical measures (eg. mass, number,strength, pressure, temperature), a purely physical property.

Changes in volume, temperature or pressure are PHYSICAL changes, not chemical.

Is size of an object a physical change?

The size is not a change. If there is a change in size that could be a physical change, but that depends on why its sized increased. If the sized increased because more material was added or because it was heated, those are examples of a physical change that caused a change in size. If the sized increased because it reacted with some other chemical, making it take up more space, that would be a chemical change that caused the size to change.
