"That's all" is generally used as an expression to indicate that something is finished or complete.
Example:
A: "Would you like anything else?"
B: "No, that's all, thank you."
"It's all" on its own does not mean anything.
"It's all" is similar to saying "Everything is..." or "All of it is..."
Examples: "It's all ruined", "Don't worry, it's all good"

@LTer
"It's all" does not mean "eso es todo" / "nada más"
"It's all" is not a stand-alone expression.
It is incorrect to respond "it's all" when (for example) someone asks you if you want anything else. You may still be understood, but it's not correct.

@LTer Ok, but we are talking about US/American English here.
In US/American English, "it's all" is not an expression on its own and cannot be used like the expression "that's all" (meaning all done/finished/complete or nothing more).
Spain and Peru are not relevant here. Those are both Spanish speaking countries and have nothing to do with US/American English.

I have to be completely honest here... I'm not sure why you are answering questions in the US/American English section. Many of your answers contain errors and often you miss out on key context/nuance.
If you are going to answer questions in the US/American English section, please consider including a note indicating that you are not a native English speaker.
