This phrase means that God made mankind to be like him. This verse does not tell in what ways God made people to be like himself. God does not have a body, so it does not mean that people would look like God. See how "after our likeness" is translated in [Genesis 1:26](../01/26.md). Alternate translation: "to truly be like us" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-pronouns]])
