You can tell by the fin shape.  They scoop air and move it, so it comes from the nonlabel side to the label side.

Just building my PC now. I think pic 1 is intake if I place it on the front of the case and if it is flipped (second pic) then that will be exhaust.

 

Can anyone just double check?

 

Many thanks.

I'm feeling annoyed right now after being falsely accused

There should be an arrow somewhere on the frame of the fan denoting which way air flows

Thank you. This means I actually was going to install them the wrong way.

 

Glad I checked now.

PC fans also usually have an arrow somewhere on the side that points in the direction air flows through. You could check for that if you want to be absolutely certain.
