'Here you are' and 'Here it is'

I know that 'Here you are' and 'Here it is' is used when giving something to someone and I was wondering if the two expressions mean the same or not. In my country's language, they are interpreted as the same, but I do not know how you native English speakers use them? What do you native English speakers think? They are interchangeable all the time for the same meaning?

Thank you so much in advance.

Here you are sounds better to me in this case. Here it is seems more natural in a situation where you were looking for something and finally found it.
